The Board has determined that a 10 percent rating is warranted for the Veteran's WPW syndrome, as her symptoms meet the criteria for this rating under Code 7010 of the VA Rating Schedule.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's WPW syndrome was shown to have at least four episodes per year of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or other supraventricular tachycardia documented by ECG or Holter monitor, which meets the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Code 7010.
