Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's motion to revise the January 2019 rating decision that denied service connection for PTSD on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The January 2019 rating decision failed to consider evidence supporting a verified stressor, which was present in the file at the time of the decision. The failure to properly apply the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f)(1) manifestly changed the outcome of the decision.
