Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was dismissed due to the Veteran not submitting a proper form and new evidence.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 rating decision deferred adjudication of the claim, which is not an adjudicative determination that can be appealed. The Board does not have jurisdiction over the service connection claim as no final rating actions with appropriate appellate rights were made.
