The Board denied the motion to revise or reverse on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) a September 27, 1996 rating decision that did not adjudicate a claim of service connection for alopecia.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not undebatably incorrect, nor did it manifestly change the outcome of the original decision.
