The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's August 2024 VA Form 10182 not being in conformity with the requirements for an appealable rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the August 5, 2024, VA Form 10182 did not conform to the required form and was filed outside the one-year timeframe from the April 2022 rating decision.
