Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a disability rating higher than 30% for IBS with diverticulitis. The veteran is already receiving the maximum schedular rating for this condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's symptoms did not warrant an extraschedular rating and that the current 30% rating was adequate.
