Granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected moderate recurrent major depressive disorder with anxious distress.
The deciding factor: The Board found it at least as likely as not that the Veteran's IBS is due to her service-connected MDD, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
