Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent, TDIU, DEA benefits, and SMC due to service-connected CAD prior to April 5, 2024, as it needs additional evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The need for a retrospective opinion on the severity of the Veteran's CAD is necessary to determine an appropriate effective date and whether TDIU, DEA benefits, or SMC are warranted prior to April 5, 2024.
