The Board restored the 20 percent rating for service-connected hemorrhoids effective June 22, 2023, and denied entitlement to a disability rating in excess of 20 percent on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show material improvement in the Veteran's hemorrhoids disability that would warrant a reduction from 20 percent to 10 percent. The schedular criteria were found adequate for evaluating the Veteran's hemorrhoid disability, and referral for consideration of an extra-schedular evaluation was not warranted.
