Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and remanded the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, thoracolumbar spine disability, left knee disability, right knee disability, and right wrist disability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's IBS began in service and has continued to the present. The evidence supports a direct link between his current condition and his active duty service.
