Granted
The Board granted service connection for hemorrhoids, to include rectal bleeding, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding were caused by his service-connected IBS, and reasonable doubt was resolved in his favor.
