The Veteran's initial compensable rating for MVP with neurocardiogenic syncope has been granted, and a subsequent increased rating to 10 percent was assigned effective March 27, 2012.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran had MVP with trace mitral regurgitation, which warranted a 10% disability rating under DC 7000 for MVP.
