Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, hypertension, a thoracolumbar spine (low back) disorder, and bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy is dismissed due to the Veteran not submitting an NOD within one year of the rating decision being mailed.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the Veteran did not submit a written request for an extension of time in which to file the NOD, and no good cause was shown for the untimely submission.
