Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of July 26, 2021 for the grant of service connection for a heart disability and an initial 100 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's continuous pursuit of the claim since July 26, 2021 allowed for an earlier effective date, and his METs level was estimated at 1 to 3, warranting a 100 percent rating.
