Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's motion to revise the February 2015 rating decision that denied service connection for varicose veins on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) and granted an effective date of September 23, 2014, for the award of service connection.
The deciding factor: The correct facts as they were known at the time of the February 2015 rating decision were incorrectly applied, resulting in an undebatable error that would have manifestly changed the outcome such that service connection should have been granted.
