Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection of sleep apnea, a combined evaluation in excess of 90 percent, and revision based on clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not file a timely VA Form 9, the calculations for the combined rating were correct according to the Combined Ratings Table, and there was no evidence of CUE in the prior decision.
