Dismissed
The appeals for increased ratings of service-connected conditions were dismissed as they remained pending in the legacy (non-modernized) appeal system.
The deciding factor: The claims were not validly opted-in to the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) appeal system and thus were dismissed under 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.104.
