Partly granted
The Board granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) but denied an initial evaluation higher than 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's IBS and PTSD render him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, warranting TDIU. However, the criteria for a higher evaluation of IBS have not been met.
