Dismissed
The appeal for an earlier effective date for the grants of service connection for bowel leakage, bladder difficulties, bilateral eye decreased visual acuity, and erectile dysfunction was dismissed as untimely.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file a VA Form 10182 within one year of being notified of the November 2015 rating decision, and no good cause for an extension was shown.
