Dismissed
The appeal as to the issue of entitlement to service connection for a heart condition was dismissed due to lack of timely notice of disagreement and new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: The March 2013 rating decision denying service connection for a heart valve disorder became final, and the Veteran did not file a Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence within one year of that decision.
