The appeal in regard to whether there was clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in rating decisions, dated in April 1948 and March 1960, which reduced the evaluations for anxiety/PTSD, is denied.
The deciding factor: The decision would not have been manifestly different but for any alleged errors due to lack of evidence showing a diagnosis of anxiety disorder/PTSD in March 1960 and degree of impairment being no more than moderate in April 1948.
