Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher disability rating prior to July 18, 2024 for ischemic heart disease with angina and coronary artery stent placement due to pre-decisional errors in obtaining evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional errors including obtaining outstanding VA treatment records and a retrospective medical opinion concerning the Veteran's METs score due to his service-connected condition.
