Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for anemia, finding it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's anemia is due to bleeding caused by anticoagulant medications prescribed to treat his service-connected atrial fibrillation.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence shows a link between the Veteran's anemia and the hematuria and rectal bleeding resulting from the anticoagulation medications prescribed for his service-connected atrial fibrillation.
