Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for Higher-Level Review because it was not valid. The veteran did not file a proper claim form.
The deciding factor: The December 12, 2022, letter informing the Veteran that a claim must be filed on a proper form is a claims processing notice letter and does not constitute a decision on any claim or issue as defined in 38 C.F.R. § 3.151(c).
