The Board denied the Veteran's motion for revision of a final decision that denied service connection for partial complex seizure disorder, finding no clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish clear and unmistakable error in the prior decision as it failed to provide clear and unmistakable evidence showing that the preexisting condition was aggravated by service.
