Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for IBS, including Crohn's disease, and denied service connection for several other conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated severe diarrhea with constant abdominal distress, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 7319. However, the evidence did not support a higher rating or service connection for the other issues.
