The veteran's chronic hemorrhoids were granted service connection, while a chronic left shoulder disorder and a chronic bilateral wrist disorder were denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection for chronic hemorrhoids was granted due to evidence of their origin during active service. The other conditions were not shown to have been incurred in or aggravated by active service.
