Dismissed
The appeal seeking entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea was dismissed as untimely because the Notice of Disagreement was not filed within one year of notification of the August 2022 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to non-compliance with claims processing rules, specifically the requirement to file a Notice of Disagreement within one year of receiving notice of the denial of service connection for sleep apnea in August 2022.
