Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for hemorrhoids, finding that the evidence does not support a causal relationship between the current disability and the Veteran's period of active duty service.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examination concluded that the Veteran's current diagnosis of hemorrhoids is less likely than not related to his in-service diagnosis of perirectal abscess, as the conditions have different etiologies.
