The Board denied the Veteran's claims for revision of the December 2021 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) for each of the issues related to jaw, left foot, and right foot pain.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly show that it was undebatable that the outcome would have been different but for the errors in the December 2021 rating decision.
