Dismissed
The appeal for direct review of the issues of entitlement to service connection for a neck condition, back condition, and an earlier effective date and increased initial evaluation for PTSD is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The appeals were not filed in response to a rating decision or within one year from the date that VA mailed notice of the August 2021 rating decision regarding the Veteran's claims.
