Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for stomach issues, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating on either a schedular or extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were consistent with the assigned 30 percent rating under DC 7319, and there was no evidence to suggest an increase in severity beyond what was reported during VA examinations.
