Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome and an initial 20 percent rating for hypertension, while remanding the claim for a left wrist condition.
The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence supports that the Veteran's IBS is related to his active-duty service, and one blood pressure reading met the criteria for a 20 percent rating for hypertension.
