The Board granted a 60 percent disability rating from December 31, 2009, for peptic ulcer disease with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with mild diverticulosis and denied a higher rating.

The deciding factor: The evidence supported severe impairment of health due to the Veteran's symptoms, but did not show that a higher rating was warranted based on the criteria provided by the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities.
