Today, I received a call from a VA Insurance Center supervisor regarding a HLR/CUE I submitted earlier this year. Despite one of their departmental attorneys discussing it with me in May for more than two hours over the phone, I never received a decision letter. They could see where the my documentation was received, but for "unknown reasons" a task was never generated to work it. We briefly discussed the details.
They said they were familiar with CUE, but said it applies to compensation claims, not life insurance decisions. They said there was no requirement for them to fill out the long-form decision letter that responds in detail to each of the points I raised in my submission. I explained I needed that in order to properly formulate an appeal to the BVA.

I even found a BVA decision regarding S-DVI which mentioned CUE, so it must apply there too: https://www.va.gov/vetapp04/files2/0414424.txt

I agree but we do not have the details on this situation- why they denied. I prepared a CUE for my daughter who signed and sent it to VA Edu (DEA) They corrected their Major DEA error in 3

Correct. You need a written denial to be able to appeal it to the BVA. Best would have been if you got a letter denying waiver of premium. That is what this is about, the way I see it: Waive
