The Board denied pension benefits in May 1984 and the moving party is requesting a revision of this decision on grounds of clear and unmistakable error. The motion was denied as it did not meet the pleading requirements necessary to file a motion for clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The motion lacked specific allegations of error in fact or law in the Board's decision, and failed to show how a different result would have ensued but for the alleged errors.
