Dismissed
The appeal regarding service connection for sarcoidosis was dismissed due to a procedural defect in the form used to file the appeal.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA Form 10182 seeking review of a prior denial of sarcoidosis did not comply with claims-processing rules, as it was silent on the date of the decision and the Veteran had not opted into the Appeals Modernization Act system properly.
