Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for left and right shoulder conditions were dismissed as the Veteran filed a notice of disagreement prior to receiving notification of the AOJ's decision.
The deciding factor: The claims were not ripe for appeal because the notification letter was sent after the VA Form 10182 was filed, thus failing to meet procedural requirements.
