Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for bilateral knee, skin, back, and lower back conditions due to procedural defects in the claims-processing rules.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran did not file a VA Form 10182 within one year of receiving notice of the January 2023 rating decision on these conditions, and no good cause for the untimeliness was established.
