“. An error on the face of the evidence exists where, on .the basis of all the evidence in the file on which the determination or decision was based and any evidence of record anywhere in the Administration at the time such decision or determination was made, it is clear that the determination or decision was incorrect. A determination or decision which was reasonable on the basis of the evidence in the file and the statute, regulations, instructions, precedents, etc., existing at the time the determination or decision was made, will not be reopened merely because there is a shift in the weight of the evidence, a different inference is now drawn from the evidence, a different rule of law would now be applied, or the statute or regulations have been amended, unless such amendment specifically provides otherwise. ... In such cases, there is no error on the face of the evidence on which the determination or decision was based (i. e., the “record”) which would permit reopening. (Emphasis in original).”
