Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for external hemorrhoids and remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's external hemorrhoids did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, while further evidence is needed to determine if OSA is related to her military service.
