Granted
The Board granted service connection for low back conditions, left hip condition, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and a 50 percent rating for sinusitis as of August 22, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's current disabilities and his active military service, particularly due to in-service injuries and complaints consistent with the progression of these conditions.
