The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for ratings of frozen feet and for VA compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for additional genitourinary disabilities resulting from VA medical treatment received between August 1971 and November 1973.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not show that the veteran had sustained additional genitourinary disabilities as a result of VA medical treatment received from 1971 to 1973, and thus denied the claim under the applicable legal authority at the time.
