The Veteran's request to revise or reverse a May 13, 2015, rating decision that assigned an evaluation of 10 percent rating for left shoulder strain on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found no clear and unmistakable error in the May 2015 rating decision as it correctly applied the law and regulations at the time, and subsequent judicial pronouncements or changes in interpretation cannot be used to establish CUE.
