Partly granted
The veteran's claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent prior to July 18, 2006, was denied. A 100 percent evaluation for aortic stenosis with heart murmur from July 18, 2006, was granted. The appeal for an effective date prior to December 2, 2009, was dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence demonstrating the severity of the veteran's heart disability and the criteria set forth in VA's Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
