Granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected irritable bowel syndrome based on frequent abdominal pain and signs or symptoms of a change in stool frequency, a change in stool form, and abdominal bloating.
The deciding factor: The record supports that the Veteran experiences frequent abdominal pain related to defecation at least one day per week during the previous three months, along with other signs or symptoms required for a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7913.
