The Board found no clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in the April 1987 decision that denied a rating increase for residuals of a left foot injury, which was based on the merits rather than service connection.
The deciding factor: The April 14, 1987, Board decision did not address or apply the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.344 in reducing the disability rating for residuals of a left foot injury.
