Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's request for a higher-level review as timely based on evidence that some documents were not received or associated with his record.
The deciding factor: The presumption of receipt under the common law mailbox rule was rebutted, but there is additional evidence to support the claim that the missing pages were submitted and more likely than not timely.
