Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased initial disability rating for valvular heart disease with coronary artery disease associated with hypertension in excess of 30 percent due to a need for additional development.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's report did not fully address the Veteran's reported symptomatology, necessitating a more thorough examination.
