The Board has granted a 100 percent rating for the service-connected psychiatric disorder effective September 20, 1994. The veteran's claim for restoration of a total rating based on individual unemployability from April 1985 to September 1994 is now granted.
The deciding factor: The RO considered and addressed the veteran's arguments regarding clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in the January 1985 reduction decision, leading to the restoration of a total rating based on individual unemployability from April 1985 to September 1994.
