Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for diabetes mellitus type II as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and increased ratings of 10 percent were granted for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and tinea versicolor, while denying a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis and hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities contributed to his diabetes mellitus type II. The Veteran did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating for allergic rhinitis or hemorrhoids, but met the criteria for increased ratings of 10 percent for IBS and tinea versicolor.
