Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date prior to December 27, 2023, for the establishment of service connection for atrial fibrillation with premature ventricular contractions was dismissed due to a procedural issue with the VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 VA Form 10182 is invalid as it does not properly appeal a Board decision and there is no rating decision in the year prior to its receipt that could be appealed.
