Denied
The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of fibromyalgia was denied. The motion to revise a September 1999 rating decision based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE) was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran is already in receipt of the earliest possible effective date for his service-connected fibromyalgia, and the CUE motion lacked sufficient specificity.
