The Board found that the July 1973 decision did not commit CUE in denying service connection for paranoid schizophrenia, and the October 1991 decision did not commit CUE in failing to assign an earlier effective date. The issues are now considered as a whole.
The deciding factor: Both decisions were final due to lack of appeal within one year from notification letters.
