Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and remanded claims for hypertension and gout, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran regarding his IBS claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise to support a finding that the Veteran's IBS began during military service, leading to its grant. The other conditions required further examination due to pre-existing status and potential aggravation by service.
