Dismissed
The appeal for an increased rating for right ankle pain and foot pain was dismissed due to the lack of a proper Notice of Disagreement with a prior rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no basis for the appeal as no rating decision had been issued in the one year prior to receipt of the filing.
