The Board denied the Veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for additional right shoulder, right-hand, and left-hand disabilities as there was no evidence that the VA treatment caused or aggravated these conditions.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence failed to show that the Veteran developed an additional disability of the right shoulder, right hand, or left hand that was caused or aggravated by carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or similar instance of fault by VA, or by an event not reasonably foreseeable.
