Dismissed
The appeal as to the claims for service connection for PTSD and hypertension, and the claim for an initial increased rating in excess of 10 percent for a right shoulder disability were denied due to untimeliness.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to file a timely Notice of Disagreement within one year of the July 2007 rating decision, making the claims untimely under VA regulations.
