The Board denied the veteran's motion alleging clear and unmistakable error in the January 22, 1998 decision which granted an earlier effective date of May 23, 1967 for a grant of service connection for an anxiety reaction.
The deciding factor: The veteran failed to provide specific allegations of error regarding the January 1998 Board decision and did not demonstrate that the correct facts were not before the Board or that the statutory or regulatory provisions then extant were incorrectly applied.
