Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a right foot wound, finding no additional disability resulting from VA treatment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the debridement of the right foot callus resulted in an additional disability beyond what was present prior to the procedure.
