Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, left knee condition as secondary to intervertebral disc syndrome and lumbar spine strain, and right knee condition as secondary to intervertebral disc syndrome and lumbar spine strain due to untimely filings.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA Form 10182 was not received within one year of notification of the respective January 2017 and January 2018 rating decisions, and no good cause for extending the filing period was shown.
