Granted
The Board granted revision of the June 2011 rating decision, assigning an effective date of August 25, 1994, for the award of service connection for a left leg tibial and fibula fracture as well as a right foot hallux valgus due to CUE in the prior decision.
The deciding factor: The June 2011 rating decision's assignment of August 31, 2010, as an effective date was found to be CUE because the Veteran did not receive proper notification of his right to appeal in July 1994, and thus the claim remained pending until it was granted in June 2011.
