Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151, and for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability and erectile dysfunction.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that there was VA negligence/lack of care in providing outpatient podiatry treatment prior to the left below the knee amputation surgery, nor did it establish new and material evidence to reopen previously denied claims for service connection.
