Granted
The Board granted the appeal as to the timeliness of a December 5, 2024, request for Higher Level review (HLR) because it was received exactly one year after the Veteran was notified of the relevant rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The HLR was timely in this case as it was received within one year of the notification letters regarding the prior rating decisions.
