Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for pancreatic insufficiency with associated diarrhea, as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet or more nearly approximate the criteria required for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were found to be moderate and did not include severe symptoms such as alternating diarrhea and constipation with constant abdominal distress. The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran but determined that a 30 percent rating was not warranted.
