Granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on the Veteran's symptoms and the application of the rating criteria.
The deciding factor: The evidence more closely approximates moderate IBS, warranting a 10 percent rating under DC 7319, as it includes frequent episodes of bowel disturbances with abdominal distress despite continuous use of laxatives and TUMS.
