Dismissed
The Board denied the request for an extension of time to file an appeal and dismissed the attempted appeals of the February 2020 and September 2020 rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide good cause as to why the required action could not have been taken during the original period or sooner, and thus, the request for an extension was denied.
