The Board granted a rating of 60 percent, but no higher, for coronary artery disease with Prinzmetal's angina (CAD) from July 7, 2015 to June 9, 2016 and denied an increased rating in excess of 30 percent disabling for CAD from June 10, 2016 onward.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was in relative equipoise for a 60 percent rating from July 7, 2015 to June 9, 2016 and that the Veteran's METs testing showed dyspnea and angina at a workload of greater than 5-7 METs from June 10, 2016 onward.
