Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for resolved anal fissure and resolved constipation as secondary to the service-connected major depressive disorder, and anemia as secondary to the now service-connected resolved anal fissure. The remaining claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence showing that the Veteran's resolved anal fissure and resolved constipation are aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric disability, and that his anemia is proximately due to the now service-connected resolved anal fissure.
