Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for earlier effective dates for entitlement to service connection for left knee patellofemoral pain syndrome with tendinitis, lumbar spondylolisthesis and spondylosis, left lower extremity (LLE) radiculopathy, and allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeals were not timely filed within one year of the December 2022 rating decision that assigned effective dates for these conditions.
