Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for VA compensation benefits under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for residuals of a hernia operation, specifically left-sided numbness inclusive of left sural sensory polyneuropathy, as this additional disability was not reasonably foreseeable.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's left-sided numbness, including left sural sensory polyneuropathy, was an event that was not reasonably foreseeable and therefore granted compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
