Denied
The Board denied the request to revise a December 15, 2003 rating decision that reduced an evaluation of residuals of MRSA infection from 100 percent to 60 percent on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The correct facts as known at the time were before the VA adjudicators in December 2003, and the statutory and regulatory provisions extant at the time were correctly applied.
