The Board found clear and unmistakable error in the April 1983 decision that denied restoration of a 100% evaluation for service-connected anxiety reaction with depressive reaction, as it did not consider the applicable regulatory provisions regarding stabilization of disability evaluations.
The deciding factor: The failure to apply the correct regulations regarding stabilization of disability evaluations manifestly changed the outcome and resulted in CUE.
