Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for service connection and a 30% rating for the veteran's irritable bowel syndrome, but denied a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be severe enough to warrant a 30% rating under DC 7346, but not more than that.
