Dismissed
The Veteran's claims of entitlement to service connection for a finger condition, pulmonary valvular stenosis, and hypertension are dismissed due to a procedural defect in the filing of the appeal under the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: There was a procedural defect with the filing of the Veteran's claims as they were improperly docketed under the AMA system.
