Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic diarrhea (also claimed as irritable bowel syndrome) and remanded the claims for pleuritis, sinusitis, left wrist tendinopathy (tendinitis), and bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows a causal relationship between the current disability of chronic diarrhea and the in-service disease or injury, specifically related to medication used to treat service-connected disorders.
