Denied
The Board denied a rating greater than 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected hypertensive heart disease based on the evidence of record.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's METs level was between 7.1 to 10.0 METs, which does not meet the criteria for a rating higher than 30 percent under the applicable diagnostic code.
