Dismissed
The appeal seeking earlier effective dates for the awards of a 100 percent rating for unspecified anxiety disorder and a 20 percent rating for chronic right knee patellofemoral syndrome was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 VA Form 10182 did not properly identify the specific decision or issues with which the claimant disagreed, as it only addressed implementing decisions rather than the original Board decisions.
