Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of May 10, 2010, for the award of service connection for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and remanded the issue of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for IHD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim was adjudicated based on the evidence available at the time, and the Board found that the effective date could not precede the date of the original service connection claim.
