Denied
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the grant of service connection for hearing loss and tinnitus, as well as dismissed a motion to revise or reverse on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in a September 1946 decision.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that an earlier claim was filed before August 16, 2011, and there were no specific allegations of CUE that met the stringent requirements for such a motion.
