Denied
The Board denied the motion for revision, on the basis of clear and unmistakable error, of the June 11, 2014, Rating Decision that assigned a 10 percent disability rating for service-connected bilateral dry eye syndrome with pterygia.
The deciding factor: The Board found it debatable whether the VA Regional Office's application of Diagnostic Code 6099-6018 was an error and concluded that the outcome would not have been manifestly different had a different diagnostic code been applied.
