The Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for cervical spine disability, thoracic spine disability (discogenic disease), trapezius muscle disability, and migraine headaches as the result of provision of training and rehabilitation services provided or authorized by VA under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31 have been denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 were not substantiated as his disability was not proximately caused by the provision of training and rehabilitation services provided or authorized by VA under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31.
