Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for coronary artery disease was denied. The claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide private treatment records as requested, and the evidence of record did not support an increased rating for CAD.
