Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's aortic aneurysm, status post aortic aneurysm repair (ACE), as the evidence did not show that the condition was 5 centimeters in diameter, symptomatic, precluded exertion, or required surgery since December 1, 2023.
The deciding factor: The reduction of the disability rating for aortic aneurysm from 100 percent to 0 percent effective December 1, 2023, was proper as the Veteran's condition did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under the amended Diagnostic Code 7110.
