Dismissed
The appeals for service connection and increased disability rating were dismissed due to an untimely filing of the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeal was dismissed because the Notice of Disagreement was filed more than one year after the rating decisions, which is a procedural defect.
