The Board has found new and material evidence to reopen the claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for residuals of treatment with LSD-25 by VA in 1967, but did not assign a rating or effective date as the case is still pending.
The deciding factor: The new evidence submitted supports the veteran's claim that the 1967 LSD treatment resulted in additional disability.
