The Board has determined that the grant of service connection for sciatic neuropathy, left lower extremity was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous. As a result, service connection is restored.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not undebatably compel that the Veteran's disability was unrelated to his VA treatment, thus the June 2001 award of service connection for sciatic neuropathy, left lower extremity involved CUE.
