Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome and a compensable rating for anosmia, as the evidence did not support higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's IBS symptoms were found to be consistent with the criteria for a 30 percent rating, and his anosmia was determined to be partial rather than complete, which does not warrant a compensable rating.
