The Board found that there is no evidence of current disability associated with the claimed conditions and denied the veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. ¶ 1151.
The deciding factor: There was insufficient medical evidence to support a finding of additional disability resulting from VA treatment, particularly related to the use of Zomax in 1982 and 1983.
