Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for neck lymph node (claimed as T-cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia) was dismissed due to untimely filing of the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA Form 10182 was not timely filed and did not comply with proper claims processing rules, thus it cannot be considered an appeal of the October 2009 rating decision.
