The Board's decision of December 31, 1990, which denied entitlement to an initial evaluation greater than 30 percent for PTSD, was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly and unmistakably show that the veteran's social and occupational functioning was considerably or more so impaired, and there is no indication that the correct facts were not before the Board or that statutory or regulatory provisions were incorrectly applied.
