Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and a revision of a June 1984 rating decision on the basis that there was no clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The August 2017 rating decision is final, and the Veteran did not file a notice of disagreement within one year, thus the assigned effective date cannot be changed. There was also no CUE found in the June 1984 rating decision that would allow for an earlier effective date.
