Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to a claims processing error, as there was no adjudicative determination from which the Veteran could file a notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not properly docketed because there was no decision on the issues of entitlement to service connection for back disc and lung disorders in the one-year period preceding the filing of the VA Form 10182.
