Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of a back disorder and right hand condition was dismissed because the veteran did not file within one year of the rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's VA Form 10182 was filed more than one year from the relevant rating decisions, making it invalid for initiating an appeal.
