Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to January 10, 2008 for the grant of service connection for degenerative disc disease, lumbosacral spine and also denied revision or reversal of the October 20, 2008 rating decision based on Clear and Unmistakable Error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a current disability at the time of the July 1994 rating decision, and there was no clear and unmistakable error in the October 2008 rating decision.
