Dismissed
The Board dismissed the propriety of the referral of the matter of service connection for a left leg amputation and denied increased ratings for right and left lower extremity peripheral neuropathy.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no legal basis to adjudicate the claim for service connection for a left leg amputation as it had not been properly filed by the Veteran, and the evidence did not support an increase in the rating for the existing conditions.
