The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 10 percent for hemorrhoids and a compensable evaluation for a bowel disorder with chronic constipation.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show persistent bleeding, secondary anemia, or fissures for the hemorrhoids, nor frequent episodes of bowel disturbance with abdominal distress for the bowel disorder.
