Service connection for any
disability or death granted under this title which has been in force
for ten or more years shall not be severed on or after January 1,
1962, except upon a showing that the original grant of service
connection was based on fraud or it is clearly shown from military
records that the person concerned did not have the requisite service
or character of discharge. The mentioned period shall be computed
from the date determined by the Secretary as the date on which the
status commenced for rating purposes.
