The claim for service connection for hirsutism was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA Form 10182 is not a timely filing with respect to the January 2020 rating decision, and no extension of time to file such an appeal along with good cause for the necessity of such an extension was provided.
