Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for the reoccurring rectal abscess with thrombosed hemorrhoids and granted a separate 10 percent rating for thrombosed hemorrhoids, but denied TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the rectal disability during the staged periods on appeal, but it supported a separate rating for the thrombosed hemorrhoids from November 21, 2024.
