Dismissed
The veteran's appeals for service connection for a lung condition and tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss were dismissed due to untimely filing of the appeal requests.
The deciding factor: The Board found that good cause was not shown for the late filing of the appeal requests, as the Veteran did not provide sufficient evidence of why the timely filing could not have been made within one year of the respective rating decisions.
