The Board found that no timely substantive appeal was received to the July 28, 1992, rating decision which denied the claim of clear and unmistakable error regarding the August 18, 1970, rating decision. The issue of whether an August 18, 1970, rating decision was clearly and unmistakably erroneous is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not file a timely substantive appeal within one year after the July 28, 1992, rating decision denying his claim of clear and unmistakable error regarding the August 18, 1970, rating decision.
