Dismissed
The appeal for an extension of time to file a notice of disagreement and the attempted appeal regarding service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and depression, and a rating for bilateral hearing loss were dismissed due to untimeliness.
The deciding factor: Good cause was not shown for the late filing of the notice of disagreement within one year of the April 2019 rating decision.
