Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the Veteran's claims for a higher initial rating for IBS or service connection for CFS, but supported granting a 30 percent rating for IBS based on severe symptoms of diarrhea with more or less constant abdominal distress.
