Partly granted
The Board granted a 60 percent rating for functional bowel syndrome with chronic diarrhea and granted total ratings based on individual unemployability due to service-connected conditions, while denying an increased rating for hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of severe impairment of health from FBS warranted the higher 60 percent rating under DC 7346. The combined disability picture with hemorrhoids and FBS rendered him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, justifying a TDIU.
