Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for a back condition and nerve damage to hands, feet, and back due to clear and unmistakable error in the May 2007 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The result would not have been manifestly different as the evidence did not establish that the correct facts were not before the RO or that the RO incorrectly applied applicable statutory and regulatory provisions at the time of the May 2007 decision.
