The Board denied the Veteran's request for revision of a May 1987 rating decision that assigned initial noncompensable disability ratings for right and left knee weakness on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: There was no CUE in the May 1987 rating decision as the correct facts were known at the time, statutory and regulatory provisions were correctly applied, and there was no undebatable error that manifestly changed the outcome.
