Granted
The Veteran's arteriosclerotic heart disease was granted a permanent and total 100 percent evaluation from May 4, 2018, but no earlier. Special monthly compensation at the housebound rate was also granted from August 17, 2022, but no earlier.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence indicated that the Veteran's arteriosclerotic heart disease resulted in dyspnea, fatigue, angina, dizziness, or syncope with a workload of 1-3 METs from May 4, 2018, and his arteriosclerotic heart disease was totally incapacitating.
