Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for bilateral tinnitus was dismissed due to an improperly docketed Notice of Disagreement filed more than one year after the rating decisions it sought to appeal.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the Notice of Disagreement was not timely filed within one year of the rating decision, and no extension for good cause was provided.
