Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a higher rating for hemorrhoids to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The VA failed to properly consider the ameliorative effects of medication and did not obtain relevant non-VA treatment records, necessitating a remand.
