Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as of August 10, 2022, under the PACT Act. The claim for IBS prior to that date was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's Persian Gulf War service and the application of the PACT Act, which removed previously required manifestation periods and degrees of disability for presumptive service connection.
