Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for hemorrhoids as there was no evidence of persistent bleeding and secondary anemia, fissures, or continuously prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with three or more episodes per year of thrombosis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show persistent bleeding, secondary anemia, fissures, or continuously prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with three or more episodes per year of thrombosis to warrant a higher rating.
