The Veteran's transient ischemic attacks are rated at a minimum of 10 percent following a six month period after the date of the attack. The claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent is denied.
The deciding factor: The residuals of the transient ischemic attack, including memory loss, warrant a minimum 10 percent disability rating under Diagnostic Code 8009.
