Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a functional gastrointestinal disorder and hemorrhoids, but denied service connection for rhinitis.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on presumptive eligibility due to Persian Gulf War service and secondary to the Veteran's service-connected functional gastrointestinal disorder. The denial of service connection for rhinitis was due to the lack of a current diagnosis during the appeal period.
