Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as untimely because the Veteran did not file a VA Form 20-0996 within one year of the July 19, 2018 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found no good cause for the untimely filing and determined that the deadline to file a higher-level review request had expired more than three years prior.
