United States Federal Circuit

In an action by the surviving spouse of a veteran seeking service-connected disability benefits for bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, appealing a judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Veterans Court) that rejected plaintiff's assertion of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in an April 1983 decision of the Board of Veterans' Appeals, the judgment is reversed where the Veterans Court misinterpreted 38 U.S.C. section 1154(b) when it rejected plaintiff's CUE claim.
