Partly granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 60 percent for coronary artery disease (CAD) and denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD was found to be more than one episode of acute congestive heart failure in the past year, or a workload of greater than 3.0 METs but not greater than 5.0 METs resulting in dyspnea, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope.
