The Board denied the veteran's claims for compensation benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 due to lack of evidence showing that his current disabilities are related to treatment at a VA facility.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not establish that the veteran has any of the claimed conditions as being caused by treatment at a VA facility, thus failing to meet the criteria for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151.
