Denied
The Board denied service connection for ischemic heart disease (IHD) for purposes of establishing entitlement to retroactive benefits as a Nehmer class member.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had IHD during his lifetime, and there was no timely submitted evidence in response to VA's request for additional information.
