The veteran's left testicle varicocele/right testicle spermatocele disability is rated at 10 percent. The claim for a compensable rating for hemorrhoid disability remains pending, and the issue of entitlement to a 10 percent rating under 38 C.F.R. § 3.324 is granted.
The deciding factor: The veteran's left testicle varicocele/right testicle spermatocele disability was rated at 10 percent based on the findings from his March 2002 examination, which included a superficial scar that was painful on examination (Code 7804). The claim for a compensable rating for hemorrhoid disability remains pending.
