Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher evaluation than 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that IBS and GERD manifested in material weight loss, hematemesis, melena with moderate anemia, or other symptom combinations productive of severe impairment of health.
