Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of peripheral neuropathy was dismissed because the claim form used was incorrect and not appealable.
The deciding factor: The April 21, 2023 letter rejecting the Veteran's claim form does not constitute an initial decision that is appealable to the Board.
