Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for coronary artery disease (CAD) beginning March 1, 2023, but denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CAD symptoms and MET testing results met the criteria for a 30 percent rating as of March 1, 2023, but not before due to the level of METs required and associated symptoms.
