The Board denied the veteran's claims for disability compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for a skin disorder, sexual dysfunction, and a psychiatric disorder as they were not shown to be causally related to his VA care during his hospitalization in August 1977.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's conditions did not have a causal connection with the VA treatment he received in August 1977.
