The Board denied the Veteran's motion for revision of a February 2016 rating decision that denied service connection for a right knee disability secondary to left knee disability on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE), but remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for right knee disabilities as secondary to service-connected left knee total knee replacement.
The deciding factor: The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the February 2016 rating decision, and that a medical opinion regarding secondary service connection was not obtained prior to the decision did not establish CUE. The issue of entitlement to service connection for right knee disabilities as secondary to service-connected left knee total knee replacement is remanded due to an inadequate VA examination.
