Dismissed
The appeal of service connection for bilateral knee disabilities was dismissed due to a procedural defect in the claims processing rules.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 Notice of Disagreement appealed an unappealable September 2023 notification letter, and the Veteran's NOD did not validly appeal prior rating decisions.
