Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date prior to June 6, 2019, for coronary artery disease (CAD) was dismissed due to improper docketing of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 appeal for an earlier effective date for CAD is dismissed as a matter of law because it was improperly docketed on the Board appeal evidence docket when the issue was already pending there.
