Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of January 8, 2015, for the award of service connection for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and a 30 percent rating from January 8, 2015, to December 31, 2016.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed more than four episodes per year documented by ECG or Holter monitor during the relevant period, warranting a 30 percent rating.
