Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for right elbow osteoarthritis, finding that VA treatment did not result in additional disability due to carelessness or negligence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran's additional disability was caused by VA's failure to exercise the degree of care expected of a reasonable health care provider or that it was an event not reasonably foreseeable.
