The veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 was denied because there is no evidence of fault on the part of VA in providing treatment, and his current disability is not linked to such a refusal.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing fault on the part of VA in providing treatment or that the veteran's current disability is reasonably foreseeable from such treatment.
