The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in denying disability benefits under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for a cerebrovascular accident with homonymous hemianopsia, which occurred as a result of VA medical treatment.
The deciding factor: The January 1989 Board decision applied the correct legal standard at that time and did not involve clear error in judgment or misapplication of law.
