Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent evaluation for IBS with GERD and denied an initial compensable evaluation for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's allergic rhinitis symptomology did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while his IBS with GERD was best approximated by alternating diarrhea and constipation with more or less constant abdominal distress, warranting a 30 percent evaluation.
