Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 60 percent rating for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, status-post CABG and percutaneous coronary intervention effective April 1, 2025.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations upon which the reduction was based were not at least as full and complete as the examination upon which the rating was originally based, and sustained material improvement that would be maintained under the ordinary conditions of life was not shown.
