Denied
The appeal seeking revision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) of the October 2015 rating decision that assigned an effective date of June 24, 2015, for the award of service connection for diabetes mellitus type II was denied. The October 2015 rating decision was revised to reflect an earlier effective date of June 24, 2014, for the award of service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD).
The deciding factor: The Board found that there were no undebatable errors in the October 2015 rating decision that would have manifestly changed the outcome.
