Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for ischemic heart disease was partially granted, with a 30% rating assigned from December 1, 2015 to May 22, 2020. The claims for service connection for PTSD and a higher rating after May 22, 2020 were denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the METs test results and the evidence of record not persuasively supporting a diagnosis of PTSD.
