Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for tinnitus was dismissed due to the appellant not submitting a proper notice of disagreement in the modernized review system.
The deciding factor: The NOD submitted by the appellant did not comply with applicable law and claims processing rules, as it attempted to opt-in from an SOC that pre-dated the implementation date of the modernized review system.
