Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 19, 2024, for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The deciding factor: The medical evidence showed the Veteran had IBS symptoms as early as October 15, 2021, and a January 2025 examination found that the condition was directly related to service. The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
