Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for a right shoulder condition was dismissed due to the Veteran's failure to file an NOD within one year of the May 2016 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA Form 10182 NOD was received more than one year after the issuance of the May 2016 rating decision, and no valid extension for filing an appeal was shown.
