The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 C.F.R. § 1151 for a bladder condition, finding no evidence of additional disability caused by VA treatment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing carelessness, negligence, or an unforeseeable event resulting in additional disability from VA-provided radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
