Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for PTSD and GERD, but denied an initial compensable disability rating for IBS. The remaining issues related to multiple joint disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: PTSD was directly linked to in-service MST, while GERD was found to be caused by the appellant's service-connected PTSD. IBS did not meet criteria for a compensable rating throughout the review period.
