Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an additional VA examination to address whether the Veteran's eye condition was due to carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment, or a similar instance of fault on the part of VA.
The deciding factor: The initial medical opinion did not adequately address the criteria required for an 1151 claim and thus a remand is necessary for a more complete examination.
