Granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with somatic symptom disorder.
The deciding factor: The most persuasive evidence does not weigh against finding that the Veteran's IBS is etiologically related to his service-connected PTSD with somatic symptom disorder.
