The Board has determined that the veteran's neurological tremors are not related to VA treatment, and thus compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 is denied.
The deciding factor: The preponderance of evidence does not support a finding that the veteran's tremors were caused by or worsened by VA medical treatment.
