The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection and compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 due to lack of evidence showing an increase in disability prior to June 22, 2004.
The deciding factor: There is no objective medical evidence demonstrating a factually ascertainable increase in disability during the year preceding the date of claim for increased rating and compensation under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151.
