Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome and restored the 50% disability rating for migraine headaches, while denying an increased rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding that the Veteran's irritable bowel syndrome was presumptively related to his Persian Gulf War service, and the reduction in the disability rating for migraine headaches was not proper.
