Dismissed
The appeal as to the timeliness of a March 2024 NOD was denied, and the attempted appeals for service connection for heart disability, hypertension, bilateral foot neuropathy, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and COPD were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's NODs were not timely filed within the required time frames, and good cause has not been shown to accept the late filings.
