Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for irritable bowel syndrome with gastroesophageal reflux disease (IBS with GERD) but denied other claims.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's IBS with GERD met the criteria for a 30 percent rating based on symptoms of abdominal pain related to defecation and two or more additional symptoms, while the other claims were not supported by the evidence.
