The Board denied the veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical care under the CLFMP for female infertility, as the claim was not timely filed. The claims for neurobehavioral effects, scleroderma, and renal toxicity were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The claim for female infertility was denied due to a lack of timely application, while the other claims were remanded for further evidence regarding diagnosis and causation.
