Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's coronary artery disease with old myocardial infarction.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as the Veteran's METs level was greater than 5-7.0, which is consistent with activities such as walking one flight of stairs, golfing (without a cart), mowing the lawn (with a push mower), and heavy yard work (digging).
