Denied
The Board denied the motion for clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in a July 26, 2016 decision that did not assign a 100 percent rating for PTSD with major depressive disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found no CUE as there was no binding finding of unemployability based on the nonservice-connected disability that subsequently became service-connected, and the regulations governing total ratings for compensation and pension purposes are distinct.
