Partly granted
The appeal for hemorrhoids was dismissed because no rating decision had been issued. The claim for an increased rating for IBS was remanded for a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board could not consider the appeal for hemorrhoids due to lack of a prior rating decision, and a new examination is required for IBS due to inaccurate information in the previous report.
