The Board denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a right hip disability and remanded claims for service connection for bilateral pseudophakia with epiretinal membrane in the left eye, right knee osteoarthritis status post replacement (arthroplasty), and readjudication of the claims for service connection for right hip and left hip disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's right hip disability was caused by VA treatment or examination. The Board found no basis to grant compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151, but remanded other claims for further development.
