Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection of a gastrointestinal disability, claimed as gallbladder removal, is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's gastrointestinal disability manifested during service and there has been continuity of symptomatology from service to the present.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the presumption of soundness was not rebutted and the Veteran's claim became one of direct service connection.
