The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim of service connection for claimed residuals from a head injury. The veteran's representative is also making an additional claim regarding 'clear and unmistakable' error in a March 1982 rating decision, which is referred to the RO for further action.
The deciding factor: New evidence has been presented that bears directly on the merits of the service connection claim for residuals from a head injury.
