Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for a back disability, specifically to adjudicate the Veteran's allegation of clear and unmistakable error in a January 1969 rating decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to non-compliance with previous Board directives regarding the review of CUE in the January 1969 rating decision.
