Denied
The Board denied the claims for compensation under 38 USC § 1151 and service connection, as there was no evidence that the additional disabilities were proximately caused by VA's fault or an unforeseen event.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 and December 2022 VA examiners concluded that the Veteran's current conditions were not due to carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or other similar instance of fault on the part of VA; or an event not reasonably foreseeable.
