Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent, but not higher, prior to November 14, 2021 for stable angina and valvular heart disease associated with hypertension. The claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent since that date was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the necessary symptoms or METs levels required for a higher rating under either the old or new criteria.
