Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection and increased rating due to a lack of prior adjudication by the AOJ within the one-year period before the appeal was filed.
The deciding factor: There were no prior rating decisions addressing the claimed conditions, thus failing to meet the requirements for an appeal under the modernized review system (AMA).
