Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 C.F.R. § 1151 for residuals of right index finger surgery, finding no evidence that VA treatment resulted in additional disability or was due to negligence.
The deciding factor: There is no indication that the Veteran sustained additional disability as a result of VA medical treatment, and the Board found no fault on the part of VA medical professionals.
