2. The issues of entitlement to service connection for CAD and diabetes mellitus, type II having been granted, there remains no question of law or fact to be decided. 

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

2. In light of the award of service connection for diabetes mellitus, no question of law or fact remains to be decided.  38 U.S.C. § 7104(a); 38 C.F.R. § 20.1302. 

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

1. Entitlement to service connection for coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus

In November 2020, service connection for CAD and diabetes mellitus was established. The Veteran has not filed a notice of disagreement with that decision nor has the Veteran asserted worsening conditions to imply a claim for an increased rating. 

As service connection has been established for CAD and diabetes mellitus, the benefit sought on appeal, the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) finds that there remains no allegation of fact or law upon which relief may be granted.  Accordingly, the appeal must be dismissed.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(d).
