Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 60 percent for service-connected CAD and denied increased ratings for other conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD was rated at 60 percent based on a workload between 3.0 and 5.0 METs, which meets the criteria under both pre- and post-amendment rating criteria.
