The November 1948 rating decision severing service connection for the veteran's psychogenic asthenic reaction is final and does not involve CUE.
The deciding factor: The RO correctly applied the statutory and regulatory provisions extant in November 1948, including the presumption of soundness and aggravation, to determine that there was clear and unmistakable evidence demonstrating the veteran's preexisting condition existed prior to service.
