Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for right and left shoulder disabilities as well as right CTS was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 notice of disagreement was filed more than one year after the notifications of the rating decisions, and no good cause was provided for the delay.
