Dismissed
The appeal of the claim for entitlement to service connection for hearing loss was dismissed due to non-compliance with essential claims-processing rules.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 VA letter is not an appealable rating decision and cannot be appealed to the Board. No new and relevant evidence was submitted, and no previous final rating decision on this issue could be reviewed.
