Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for diabetes mellitus, type II, degenerative arthritis, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension was dismissed due to non-compliance with claims processing rules.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a timely Notice of Disagreement within one year of the prior denial decisions, and thus failed to substantially comply with proper claims processing rules.
