Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a deviated septum, finding that the Veteran's condition was related to physical trauma sustained during his military service. The claim for revision of an August 1981 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a direct link between the Veteran's deviated septum and in-service physical trauma, but that there was no CUE in the 1981 denial as it correctly applied the relevant regulations and considered all available evidence at the time.
