The Veteran's myralgia paresthetica of the left thigh is rated as noncompensable, and his irritable bowel syndrome claim under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 was denied.,The VA did not find fault on their part in causing additional disability for either condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's myralgia paresthetica of the left thigh does not meet the criteria for a higher rating as it is currently evaluated at noncompensable level. The irritable bowel syndrome claim under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 was denied because there was no evidence that VA care or treatment caused additional disability.
