Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a hemorrhoid disability to obtain an adequate VA examination as the previous medical opinion was found to be inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinion was considered conclusory and did not provide a rationale regarding whether the Veteran's current hemorrhoid disability had its onset in service or is otherwise related to service.
