The Veteran's kidney condition (enuresis) was found to be capable of worsening, which led to a finding of clear and unmistakable error in the October 1968 rating decision. The Board granted the request for revision based on this finding.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's frequent urination condition was capable of worsening over time, leading to a conclusion of CUE.
