Dismissed
The appeal for an effective date prior to July 4, 2021, for the assignment of a 70 percent rating for adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood was dismissed due to an improper opt-in to the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The April 2025 VA Form 10182 was an improper opt-in to the AMA for the issue, as it was docketed at the Board in error under the AMA and remains on appeal within the legacy system.
