The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased rating, referral to the Director of Compensation and Pension Service for extra-schedular rating, TDIU, and retroactive payment of VA disability compensation. The appeals were dismissed as untimely.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not timely file a notice of disagreement or appeal regarding all issues raised in the October 1994 decision.
