Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for hemorrhoids was denied, but the claim for TDIU from December 15, 2020 to September 1, 2022 was granted.
The deciding factor: The decision on hemorrhoids was based on objective findings not meeting the criteria for a compensable rating; the TDIU was granted due to the veteran's service-connected disabilities rendering him unable to secure or follow substantially gainful employment.
