Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for PTSD, depressive disorder, and unspecified anxiety disorder was dismissed as a matter of law due to a claims processing error.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 Notice of Disagreement (NOD) was determined to be untimely, and good cause was not shown to accept the late filing. The Board has already addressed these claims under a separate docket number, leaving no justiciable case or controversy for this current docket.
