Description: Linda Cosme tells us how the VA rates IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) on a scale from 0 to 30 and the factors the VA considers to make this rating.

Video Transcript

The VA will rate an IBS or irritable bowel syndrome condition at 30%, 10% or 0% at the maximum rating of 30%. IBS substantially impacts a veteran’s daily life. The veteran has severe diarrhea or alternating diarrhea and constipation. The veteran likely requires proximity to a bathroom and constant monitoring of stress and nutrition. Veterans with a 10% IBS rating or moderate bowel disturbance experience some bouts of diarrhea or constipation if they’re able to manage IBS triggers. A 0% rating would be a mild case of IBS that requires only minimal lifestyle changes.
