Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for atrial fibrillation, secondary to the service-connected coronary artery disease (CAD), and remanded claims for a higher rating for CAD and individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The October 2020 VA medical opinion concluded that the Veteran's currently diagnosed atrial fibrillation was directly related to his service-connected CAD, and there is no opposing medical opinion of record.
