Granted
The Veteran's hypothyroidism with constipation was granted a 10 percent evaluation from June 21, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the initial diagnosis of myxedema and thus did not warrant a higher rating under DC 7903. However, the Veteran's symptoms such as fatigue, constipation, and the need for continuous medication were rated under DC 7904 by analogy.
