The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a denture condition, finding that new and relevant evidence had not been received to warrant readjudication of the claim.
The deciding factor: The additional evidence did not prove or disprove the issue of whether compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 is warranted as it was either already of record or did not address the question of an additional disability proximately caused by VA's actions.
