Granted
The Board granted a 60 percent rating for the Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), finding that the evidence shows symptom combinations productive of severe impairment of health.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence showed that the Veteran's gastrointestinal disability more nearly approximated a combination of symptoms productive of severe impairment of health, warranting a 60 percent rating under DC 7346.
