Granted
The Board granted service connection for iron deficiency anemia as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected carcinoid tumor with resection of the small intestine.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 and June 2023 VA intestinal surgery examinations, along with the Veteran's VA treatment records, attributed her anemia to her intestinal surgery. The Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
