Denied
The Board denied the claim for revision of the August 1989 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) because the correct facts were known at the time, and the statutory and regulatory provisions were correctly applied.
The deciding factor: The evidence available at the time did not provide a positive nexus between tinnitus and service, and the Veteran's lay statements could not be afforded probative weight due to the lack of supporting medical evidence.
