Partly granted
The Board granted a 100 percent rating for coronary artery disease since January 3, 2019, and an increased 10 percent rating for bilateral hearing loss since January 8, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 100 percent disability rating from January 3, 2019, due to heart failure symptoms including dyspnea and dizziness. The Veteran's hearing loss improved to Level III in the right ear and Level IV in the left ear since January 8, 2019.
