Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings, TDIU, special monthly compensation, and Dependents' Educational Assistance due to insufficient evidence of a higher disability rating or unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's heart conditions did not meet the criteria for a higher rating or TDIU as his symptoms were consistent with a workload of greater than 5 METs but not greater than 7 METs, and he was able to engage in light activities without significant impairment.
