Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a skin condition, left hip strain, and depression was dismissed as the Veteran did not file a notice of disagreement within one year of the relevant rating decisions. The appeals for service connection for bilateral lower and upper extremity radiculopathy were denied.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence does not show that the Veteran's bilateral upper and lower extremity radiculopathy was incurred in service or is due to her service-connected lumbosacral strain, and there are no rating decisions addressing these claims within a year of the notice of disagreement.
