Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a low back condition and denied initial compensable ratings for migraine, maxillary sinusitis, and irritable bowel syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for the low back condition due to its onset during active service. However, there was insufficient evidence to support higher ratings for the other conditions based on their frequency and impact on daily life.
