The veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for osteomyelitis of the skull with skull loss was denied as his condition did not result from VA negligence.
The deciding factor: VA treatment records showed appropriate care and no evidence of negligence in treating the veteran's osteomyelitis or skull reconstruction.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has granted a higher level of SMC at the rate payable under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(t) for the Veteran's service-connected TBI residuals, finding that they require a 'higher level of care' and necessitate nursing home care without regular aid and attendance.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment, warranting a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for an increased disability rating for his service-connected chronic brain syndrome (CBS) associated with brain trauma and severe neurotic reaction is being remanded due to the need for additional development, including a VA TBI examination.
- Denied
The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not cause or contribute substantially to his death. Additionally, he was not rated as totally disabled continuously for at least five years from separation and thus, DIC under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1318 is denied.
