Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's request for higher-level review of effective dates being improperly denied by VA.
The deciding factor: VA erred in not accepting the Veteran's request for higher-level review as it was filed on a proper form and within one year from notice of the decision, thus the Board lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.
