Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for service connection of metastasis to pelvis and special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria due to procedural defects.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA Form 10182 was not a valid notice of disagreement because there was no underlying VA decision addressing the remanded claims.
