Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for a back disability, right knee disability, and left knee disability were dismissed due to procedural defects.
The deciding factor: The claims were improperly docketed under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) as they were issued before February 19, 2019, and the Veteran did not file a legacy Notice of Disagreement within one year of the rating decision in August 2018.
