Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and denied a compensable initial rating for non-allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's IBS symptoms were found to be moderate, frequent episodes of abdominal distress, warranting a 10 percent rating. The evidence did not support a compensable rating for the non-allergic rhinitis as it failed to meet the criteria for greater than 50 percent obstruction or polyps.
