The appeal seeking revision or reversal of the May 19, 1987, rating decision that reduced from 100 percent to 30 percent the rating for left knee degenerative joint disease on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) was denied. The other issues were remanded for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The May 19, 1987, rating decision did not contain CUE as the correct facts in the record were before the adjudicator at that time and the statutory or regulatory provisions were correctly applied.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
