Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for earlier effective dates for service-connected conditions based on CUE in a December 1983 deferred rating decision.
The deciding factor: The claim was deemed abandoned due to lack of response within one year after the request for evidence, and thus no CUE could be established that would warrant an earlier effective date.
