Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable evaluation for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), finding that his condition was manifested by no more than mild impairment, including daily diarrhea without abdominal distress.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's IBS did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under either the pre- or post-amended diagnostic code 7319.
