Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for rheumatoid arthritis was dismissed due to a untimely notice of disagreement. The left knee disorder claim is remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's notice of disagreement for the rheumatoid arthritis claim was not timely, and thus the Board lacks jurisdiction over the issue under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA).
