The Board found that the Veteran's hand tremors were not caused by VA-prescribed Reglan, and thus denied his claim under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151.
The deciding factor: VA medical opinions consistently stated that the Veteran's hand tremors were not related to his use of Reglan, which was prescribed for a non-service-connected condition.
