Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's timely notice of disagreement regarding the effective dates assigned for service connection for coccyx injury residuals with lumbar spine degenerative disc disease, right ankle disability, and left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The December 2017 statement can be reasonably construed as disagreement with the effective dates assigned for service connection for these disabilities, and it is timely under the pre-March 24, 2015 definition of NOD.
