The Board denied an increased compensable rating for hemorrhoids and remanded the claim for service connection of hair loss, to include as secondary to a service-connected major depressive disorder.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's hemorrhoid symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. The evidence was insufficient to establish a relationship between her hair loss and her service-connected major depressive disorder.
