Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome and gastroesophageal reflux disease, but remanded the claim for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on presumptive evidence for IBS and a link to service-connected PTSD for GERD. Migraines require further examination due to potential toxic exposure risk activities.
