Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 28, 2022, for the assignment of a 30 percent rating for cholecystectomy, residual of cholecystitis with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but denied a rating in excess of 30 percent.
The deciding factor: The Board found that it was at least in equipoise that as of April 28, 2022, the Veteran's symptoms were severe enough to warrant a 30 percent rating, and that the maximum schedular rating for the disability had already been assigned.
