Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 30 percent evaluation for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) effective December 1, 2024, as the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, and the rating had been in effect for less than five years.
