The Board found that the veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for right wrist disability claimed to be due to or aggravated by medical treatment provided by the VA is not well-grounded, and denied the claim. The increased rating claim for post-traumatic stress disorder was also considered but no decision was made as it required additional development.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for right wrist disability claimed to be due to or aggravated by medical treatment provided by the VA is not well-grounded, and denied the claim.
