Dismissed
The appeal for entitlement to service connection for a broken nose with deviated nasal septum was dismissed due to untimely filing of the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The September 2025 VA Form 10182 was untimely as it was filed more than one year after the February 2016 rating decision, which denied service connection for a broken nose with deviated nasal septum.
