Partly granted
The veteran's claims for higher disability ratings for hemorrhoids, a scar, and duodenal ulcer with GERD were denied. The claim for service connection for a stroke was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The denial of the increased rating claims is based on the Veteran's failure to attend scheduled VA examinations without good cause.
