Denied
The Board denied an initial rating higher than 10 percent for a digestive disorder prior to February 26, 2021, and denied special monthly compensation at the housebound rate.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show symptoms more than slight, which would warrant a higher rating under DC 7329.
