Partly granted
The veteran was granted a 30 percent disability rating for valvular heart disease with premature ventricular contractions from July 9, 2024, to July 14, 2024, but denied an increased rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed the appellant's METs were greater than 7-10 before July 9, 2024, and showed hypertrophy on an echocardiogram from July 9, 2024, to July 14, 2024.
