The Board finds that Peyronie's disease is not caused by VA treatment in November 1989, and thus the veteran does not meet the criteria for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151. Service connection for cholecystectomy residuals secondary to nephroureterectomy residuals also cannot be established.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that Peyronie's disease was caused by VA treatment in November 1989, and the Board finds no other basis for service connection.
