The Board denied service connection for memory loss and compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for MRSA, while remanding the claims for service connection for lymphoma, legal blindness, and gout.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of in-service incurrence or aggravation for the claimed conditions, nor was there evidence that VA treatment caused additional disability under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
