Granted
The Board granted compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) caused by VA medical treatment.
The deciding factor: VA failed to exercise the degree of care that would be expected of a reasonable health care provider in prescribing medication the Veteran was known to be allergic to, which resulted in her developing SJS.
