Partly granted
The Board granted increased initial disability ratings of 70 percent for PTSD and 30 percent for IBS, but denied a compensable rating for non-allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of PTSD and IBS more closely approximated the criteria for higher ratings than those currently assigned.
