The Board dismissed the motions for revision of clear and unmistakable error in various rating decisions, including those related to service connection and ratings for multiple conditions. The claims for service connection were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's motions for revision did not satisfy the requirements that a motion for revision due to clear and unmistakable error must be pleaded with specificity and clearly identify any undebatable error of fact or law in the decision resulting in a specific manifestly different outcome.
