Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, was dismissed due to the untimely filing of a notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 was submitted more than one year after the rating decision and did not include evidence or a statement of good cause for the delay, leading to its dismissal.
