Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 20 percent for hemorrhoids, as the current rating already accounts for his symptoms.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA examination and the lack of additional symptoms warranting a higher or separate rating were key factors in the decision.
