Granted
The Board granted revision of the March 1978 rating decision, which denied service connection for schizophrenia on the basis of CUE, and awarded service connection from November 15, 1977.
The deciding factor: The AOJ incorrectly applied the regulations regarding entitlement to service connection, specifically determining whether an injury or disease incurred in the line of duty. If the AOJ would have correctly applied the law with consideration of the evidence, the outcome would have been different.
