Partly granted
The Board restored the veteran's rating to 60% for gastric ulcer with helicobacter pylori and biliary strictures, effective September 1, 2021. The claim for an increased rating above 60% was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The reduction in rating was not supported by evidence showing improvement in the veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
