The Veteran's claims for service connection and increased rating were reinstated due to the timely filing of her VA Form 9 after receiving the April 2020 Statement of the Case.
The deciding factor: There was clear evidence to rebut the presumption of regularity in the mailing of the April 2020 Statement of the Case, and the November 2020 VA Form 9 was timely filed within 60 days of receiving the SOC.
