Dismissed
The appeal of the November 2005 rating decision denying service connection for hypertension is dismissed as it is not final.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not receive the December 2006 SOC, and given his subsequent correspondence indicating a desire to pursue an appeal since January 2007, the original appeal remains in appellate status and cannot be subject to a CUE attack.
