Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's motion to revise the February 1983 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in failing to apply the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.344(c).
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to demonstrate that the Veteran's right ankle disability had shown actual improvement, thus manifestly changing the outcome of the rating decision at the time it was made.
