Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for various disabilities was dismissed as the Veteran filed his appeal more than one year after the AOJ's final decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not timely filed within one year of the date that the agency mailed notice of its decision, and there was no evidence of good cause for an extension.
