Partly granted
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and remanded the claim for bilateral hearing loss, to include as secondary to tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of a current diagnosis of IBS. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was remanded due to an unaddressed pre-decisional duty to assist error.
