Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for ankylosis spondylitis and remanded the claim for an increased rating for Crohn's disease due to missing private treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of ankylosis spondylitis did not meet the criteria for a higher disability rating, while there was insufficient evidence regarding his Crohn's disease to make a decision on that claim.
