Dismissed
The appeal for an initial disability rating in excess of 20 percent for right arm radiculopathy was dismissed due to a claims processing defect.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to submit a properly completed VA Form 10182 within the required timeframe, leading to a lack of clarity regarding the issues and decisions being appealed.
