Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable evaluation for hemorrhoids due to his failure to report for scheduled VA examinations, and remanded the claim for left ear hearing loss for further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to provide good cause for not reporting to scheduled VA examinations, leading to the denial of his claim. The Board also found that there was a pre-decisional duty to assist error in the handling of the left ear hearing loss claim and remanded it for further development.
