Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an increased rating for coronary artery disease and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities for further development.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations obtained prior to the rating decision are inadequate, and there is conflicting evidence regarding cardiac hypertrophy. A new examination is needed to determine the current severity of the Veteran's CAD.
