The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran experiences more than four episodes of supraventricular arrhythmias per year, which is consistent with a rating of 30 percent under Diagnostic Code 7010 for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (supraventricular arrhythmias).

What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD and obstructive sleep apnea, prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and a rating in excess of 30 percent for supraventricular arrhythmias are both remanded due to the need for additional examinations.
- Denied
The Veteran's paroxysmal atrial tachycardia is currently rated at 10 percent, which does not meet the criteria for an evaluation in excess of this rating.,Prior to April 18, 2013, the Veteran's hiatal hernia was evaluated as noncompensably disabling. Since then, it has been characterized by two or more symptoms (dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation) accompanied by substernal or arm/shoulder pain, warranting a 10 percent evaluation.
- Granted
The Board has granted a 100 percent evaluation for PTSD and dismissed the TDIU claim as moot due to the resolution of the other issues.
