Partly granted
The Board granted a 60 percent disability rating for chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) but denied a higher rating for chronic kidney disease.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD symptomology was most approximate to a 60 percent rating, which requires a workload of 3.1 to 5.0 METs and heart failure symptoms such as fatigue, while the evidence did not support a higher rating for his chronic kidney disease.
