Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hemorrhoids, right and left shoulder strains, but denied service connection for right hip condition, left hip condition, right wrist strain, left wrist strain, tooth condition and gum condition. The claim for an acquired psychiatric condition was remanded.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence supported the findings of persistent bleeding and secondary anemia for hemorrhoids, and the Veteran's reports of shoulder pain during service with ongoing symptoms were found credible and related to service.
