Dismissed
The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the June 2009 rating decision regarding both the denial of service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the initial noncompensable rating assigned for bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly and unmistakably establish that there was a current diagnosis of IBS or moderate symptoms in the case of bilateral plantar fasciitis, as required by the applicable laws at the time of the June 2009 rating decision.
