Granted
The Board granted the motion for reversal of the May 1959 rating decision that denied service connection for a gastric ulcer based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: The May 1959 rating decision did not correctly apply the statutory or regulatory provisions in effect at the time, specifically regarding presumptive service connection for chronic diseases within one year of separation from service.
