The Board found that clear and unmistakable error was committed in severing service connection for psychoneurosis in December 1955, but not in the February 1947 noncompensable evaluation. The veteran is granted service connection for a psychoneurosis effective from November 11, 1945.
The deciding factor: The rating decision of December 1955 was clearly and unmistakably erroneous as it failed to consider the veteran's lay evidence regarding his onset of symptoms during combat service. The rating board did not provide sufficient reasons for severing service connection based on the available evidence at that time.
