Granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 50 percent disability rating for bilateral postoperative gynecomastia, finding no clear and unmistakable error in the previous decision.
The deciding factor: The evidence at the time included wide local excision with significant alteration of both form and size of both breasts, supporting a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7626. The Board found no CUE that would warrant reducing the rating to noncompensable.
