The RO found no CUE in the August 1957 rating decision that severed service connection for psychoneurosis, anxiety state.
The deciding factor: The evidence before the RO at the time of the August 15, 1957 rating decision reasonably supported the decision to sever service connection due to clear and unmistakable error in granting it initially.

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for cause of death because the Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not contribute to his death, and other conditions listed on his death certificate were not caused by events during active service.
- Remanded (sent back)
The DIC benefits claim is denied as the Veteran did not meet the criteria for receiving these benefits under 38 U.S.C. § 1318. The cause of death claim is remanded due to incomplete medical opinions.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an increased rating for his service-connected psychoneurosis, finding that the evidence did not show more than mild anxiety symptoms and no significant deterioration of functioning due to his anxiety disorder. The current disability picture most nearly approximates a 30 percent rating.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's death was not caused by a service-connected condition, and thus denied his claim for service connection for the cause of death.
