Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151, earlier effective dates for service-connected conditions, and temporary total disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of negligence or fault on the part of VA in causing the additional disabilities, nor was there sufficient evidence to establish that the disabilities were caused by VA treatment within one year of the PACT Act's enactment.
