Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral fallen arches because it was not properly filed. The veteran should resubmit the claim using the correct form.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 was not submitted in response to a prior notice of decision and no decision regarding entitlement to service connection for bilateral fallen arches had been issued within one year prior to the May 2021 submission.
