The Board denied the Veteran's claim for revision of the August 1968 rating decision based on Clear and Unmistakable Error (CUE), finding no evidence that would have changed the outcome of the original decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the RO did not commit CUE in the August 1968 rating decision, as it properly weighed the evidence and there was no manifest change in the outcome based on the record at the time.
