The Board has denied the veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 due to VA treatment in February 1994, finding that there is no evidence of a new disability resulting from such treatment.
The deciding factor: The RO was unable to obtain all necessary medical records and thus could not determine if the veteran's conditions were related to the VA treatment in February 1994.
