The Veteran's service-connected paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, status post pacemaker implantation is rated at 30 percent from September 29, 2006 to October 29, 2006. The appeal for higher ratings and service connection for migraine headaches are pending.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was productive of more than four episodes per year documented by ECG or Holter monitor, warranting a 30 percent rating from September 29, 2006 to October 29, 2006.
