Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of foot pain was denied. A 30 percent rating for IBS and GERD was granted. The claims for left knee pain and right knee pain were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on foot pain was based on the lack of evidence linking it to active service; the rating for IBS and GERD was based on symptom severity; the remand for knee pain was due to inadequate medical opinions.
