Dismissed
The appeal for a rating higher than 30 percent for depressive disorder was dismissed as the Veteran did not file a timely notice of disagreement regarding the November 2022 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The notice of disagreement received in May 2025 is untimely as to the previously denied claim, and thus the issue must be dismissed.
