Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date prior to June 11, 2012, for the award of a 10 percent rating for scar, dorsal aspect of right hand was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The claim is not legally recognizable as it attempts to vitiate the rule of finality and was filed more than one year after the July 2016 rating decision.
