How much does a 60% VA rating for Atrioventricular Block pay?

What does it take to get a 60% rating for Atrioventricular Block?

Workload of 3.1-5.0 METs results in heart failure symptoms.

What's the difference between 60% and 100% for Atrioventricular Block?

60%: Workload of 3.1-5.0 METs results in heart failure symptoms. 100%: Benign block (First-Degree and Second-Degree, Type I), under the General Rating Formula: workload of 3.0 METs or less results in heart failure symptoms. Non-benign block (Second-Degree, Type II and Third-Degree) is evaluated under DC 7018 (implantable cardiac pacemakers), which assigns 100 percent for one month following hospital discharge for implantation or re-implantation.

Can a secondary condition raise my rating above 60%?

Yes, up to 100%. A condition service-connected as secondary to Atrioventricular Block gets its own rating, which VA combines with your other ratings under 38 CFR 4.25, so your combined rating can end up higher than 60%.
