Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of September 2, 2020, for the grant of service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but denied a higher initial rating and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's continuous pursuit of the claim within one year after the initial denial, which met the criteria for an earlier effective date. The 30 percent rating was confirmed as appropriate given the evidence of record, and no higher rating or TDIU was warranted.
