Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for painful joints was dismissed due to the Veteran's NOD being submitted more than one year after the April 2017 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the September 2023 NOD did not initiate from an appealable decision, and thus lacked jurisdiction over the claim.
