Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for an increased evaluation for hemorrhoids (also claimed as colon polyps) to obtain a new VA examination and consider extraschedular rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition does not fully encompass his symptoms, and there is no lumen or prolapse notation on any of his VA examinations. A remand is required for another VA examination to determine if the Veteran should be more appropriately rated under DC 7333 or DC 7334.
