Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hemorrhoids as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The claims for a back disability and left lower extremity radiculopathy were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's hemorrhoids are caused by her service-connected IBS. Further examination is needed to determine if the other conditions are related to active service or TERA.
