Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for a skin disability and a bilateral knee disability were dismissed due to procedural defects in the appeal process.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 was submitted after the 60-day appeal period and could not be used to appeal the December 2020 Board decision, making it procedurally deficient.
