The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for degenerative arthritis, a left shoulder disability, bilateral lower extremity nerve conditions, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and a neck disability due to non-jurisdictional procedural defects in the Veteran's August 2024 VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The appeals were dismissed because the claims for service connection for degenerative arthritis, a left shoulder disability, bilateral lower extremity nerve conditions, an acquired psychiatric disorder, and a neck disability were not timely filed within one year of the respective rating decisions, and no good cause was shown to extend the filing period.
