Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for left elbow strain was dismissed due to lack of clear and unmistakable error. The claim for a compensable rating for cholecystectomy was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board did not consider the Veteran's CUE motion valid because it lacked specificity regarding the final determination.
