Dismissed
The Board dismissed all issues because the veteran did not file a timely notice of disagreement within one year of notification of the January 2007 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to a mandatory claims processing rule deficiency, specifically the failure to file a timely notice of disagreement.
