Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for migraines and a back disability is dismissed as moot, while the appeals for a compensable rating for atopic dermatitis with telogen effluvium (hair loss) and service connection for left knee strain status post ACL repair are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a notice of disagreement within one year of the denial of the back disability claim, making it untimely. The appeals for other conditions were remanded due to missing evidence or inadequate medical opinions.
