Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a left ankle condition was dismissed due to an untimely notice of disagreement, while the claim for right fibula bone fracture is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The appeal period for the left ankle condition had expired and no good cause was shown for extending it. The right fibula bone fracture claim requires additional evidence as the previous examination did not provide a sufficient rationale regarding its relation to service.
