Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection and increased ratings, as well as remanded certain issues for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability or functional impairment of earning capacity related to the claimed conditions, and the Veteran was already receiving the highest schedular rating for his IBS.
