Granted
The Board granted service connection for a gastrointestinal disability, diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhea, and acid reflux, based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's condition had its onset in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found credible the Veteran's statements regarding his in-service symptoms and treatment, and the June 2023 VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion linking the current disability to service.
