Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for revision of the February 1971 rating decision, which denied service connection for tinnitus, based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly show that a different outcome would have been reached if the December 1970 VA examination report had established a diagnosis of constant tinnitus within four months of separation from service.
