Dismissed
The claims for service connection for personality disorder, depression, generalized anxiety, and a back condition were dismissed due to the appellant not following a mandatory claim-processing rule requiring a notice of disagreement (NOD) to be filed within one year of the date of the issuance of notice of the decision.
The deciding factor: The NOD was untimely as it was received more than one year after the relevant rating decisions, and no good cause for the untimeliness was provided or shown by the record.
