The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a right wrist condition, finding that there was no evidence of additional disability due to VA carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or similar instance of fault.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence did not show that the Veteran's additional disability was caused by VA treatment and concluded that it was less likely than not that the delay in necessary treatment resulted in an additional disability.
