Partly granted
The Board granted restoration of a 10 percent disability rating for service-connected IBS from December 7, 2021, as the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The December 2021 VA examiner's opinion that the Veteran does not have a diagnosis of IBS is inadequate to illustrate an improvement in his condition, and the evidence reflects ongoing symptoms.
