Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent evaluation for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on the severity of symptoms including diarrhea, alternating diarrhea and constipation, and more or less constant abdominal distress.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's IBS was severe with frequent episodes of bowel disturbance resulting in significant functional impact and weight loss, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7319.
