The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for hemorrhoids as the evidence did not support a finding of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with two or less episodes per year of thrombosis; or external hemorrhoids with three or more episodes per year of thrombosis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7336, as his hemorrhoids were not shown to be prolapsed internal hemorrhoids with two or less episodes per year of thrombosis; or external hemorrhoids with three or more episodes per year of thrombosis.
