Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for an earlier effective date and a higher rating for major depressive disorder due to insufficient pleading of clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CUE claims were dismissed because they did not meet the regulatory requirements, and his claim for a higher rating was denied as the evidence did not support a 30% or higher disability rating.
