Dismissed
The claim for an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for sleep apnea was dismissed because the Veteran did not file for one of the enumerated administrative review options within one year of the April 2020 rating decision that granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The claim was dismissed due to the lack of a timely filed administrative review option under 38 C.F.R. § 3.2500.
