Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for left knee strain and right knee strain was dismissed due to untimely filing, while the appeal for a right bicep disability was denied based on lack of evidence linking the condition to active service.
The deciding factor: The appeals were dismissed or denied due to procedural defects, including untimeliness and insufficient evidence supporting a nexus between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's active service.
