The Board denied revisions to the December 1974 rating decisions for service connection and non-compensable ratings due to lack of CUE, as well as denial of service connection for various conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a finding that there was no clear error in the original determinations and that the facts at the time were correctly applied.
