The appeal challenging the ratings assigned to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD was dismissed due to untimeliness.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 VA Form 10182 was not timely as it was received well over a year after the April 2021 rating decision, and good cause has not been shown for extending the time to file the form.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
