The Board denied the Veteran's motion to revise its November 12, 1981 decision that reduced his disability rating for left leg fracture residuals from 30% to 10%, and terminated his TDIU. The Board found no CUE in this decision.
The deciding factor: The Board determined there was no clear and unmistakable error in the November 12, 1981 decision as a valid NOD had not been filed following the reduction of disability rating and termination of TDIU.
