Partly granted
The Board granted an initial increased evaluation of thirty percent from September 22, 2020, for bowel dysfunction and denied a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported symptoms of abdominal pain, changes in stool frequency, and altered stool passage met the criteria for a 30% rating under DC 7319. The evidence did not support a finding that his service-connected disabilities prevented him from securing or maintaining employment since September 2, 2021.
