The Veteran's chest pain was initially rated at 10 percent prior to July 28, 2000. From July 28, 2000 to April 13, 2006, the Veteran is entitled to a 30 percent rating for his undiagnosed illness-related chest pain.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's cardiac condition demonstrated left ventricular hypertrophy and mild dilation of the atria as early as July 28, 2000, which warranted a 30 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 7005 (coronary artery disease).
