Dismissed
The appeal for an effective date prior to January 18, 2007, for the award of service connection for PTSD and TDIU was dismissed due to untimely filing under the legacy appeal system.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA Form 10182 was received over 10 years after the April 2014 rating decision, making it untimely under both the legacy and modernized review systems.
