My cue claim is sort of similar to yours Papa. I got a 10% rating in 1973 for nerves. I never got appeal rights, C&P, or any of that jazz. I did find that the VA did not consider my evidence from my doctor. They just used what there doctor said. I filed a CUE based on this exclusion of my evidence. You might find something like this in your decision. I have a lawyer working on this CUE. My original decision was just 2 pages. In 1973 there were two schedules for mental disorders: One for neurotic disorders and one for psychotic disorders. If they used the wrong schedule to deny you that would be a CUE, for instance. This is the kind of stuff you need to find in your denial.
