The Board granted the Veteran's motion to revise the July 2009 rating decision that denied service connection for breast cancer, right breast, on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE), and granted an effective date of July 29, 2008.
The deciding factor: The July 2009 rating decision incorrectly noted a lack of treatment for breast cancer within one year of the Veteran's release from active service in April 2007, when evidence showed findings regarding the Veteran's right breast as early as November 2007, which was formally diagnosed as breast cancer in June 2008.
