Dismissed
The appeal seeking revision or reversal of a May 2018 rating decision in which the AOJ failed to properly adjudicate the issue of entitlement to service connection for valvular heart disease on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The claim was reasonably raised but not explicitly denied, and there was no implicit denial due to the lack of sufficient notice that the claim would be considered and rejected.
