The appeal seeking revision or reversal of an April 2006 rating decision that denied higher and separate compensable evaluations for a right knee disability, based on CUE, is denied. The appeal seeking revision or reversal of a July 2019 rating decision that denied higher and separate compensable evaluations for a right knee disability, based on CUE, is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The denial of the claims was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous as it involved a weighing of the facts and law at the time. The July 2019 rating decision is subsumed by the April 2020 Board decision.
