Denied
The Board denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a perforated ear drum (left side) as the evidence did not support that it was caused by or worsened due to VA treatment.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion found no evidence supporting that the Veteran's condition was caused or worsened by VA treatment, and there were no instances of fault on the part of VA personnel in providing care.
