Dismissed
The appeals for effective dates and service connection were dismissed due to procedural defects and the Veteran's withdrawal of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The May 2, 2024 VA Form 10182 was not received within one year of the relevant rating decisions, and the Veteran withdrew her appeal after receiving legal advice that it was untimely and not in her best interest to pursue.
