Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent evaluation for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on the Veteran's symptoms of abdominal pain related to defecation at least one day per week during the previous three months, along with other symptoms such as change in stool frequency and form, abdominal bloating, fecal urgency, and incontinence.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 30 percent evaluation for IBS based on the Veteran's reported symptoms and examination findings that met the criteria for this rating under DC 7319.
