Granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for irritable bowel syndrome, effective May 19, 2024.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of abdominal pain related to defecation at least one day per week during the previous three months, and change in stool frequency, change in stool form, and abdominal bloating warranted a 30 percent rating under the revised diagnostic criteria for irritable bowel syndrome.
