Dismissed
The appeal for a compensable rating for right medial gutter and first tarsometatarsal degenerative joint disease and an increased rating for a right ankle disability was dismissed due to procedural defects, including the submission of duplicate VA Form 10182s.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 NOD was submitted more than one year after the July 2024 rating decision and was duplicative of another VA Form 10182.
