Dismissed
The veteran's appeals for service connection for chronic kidney disease, bilateral hearing loss, and basal cell carcinoma were dismissed due to untimely filing of the appeal requests.
The deciding factor: The Board found that good cause had not been shown for extending the time limit to file an appeal request, as the Veteran did not provide sufficient evidence of why he could not have filed the appeal within the one-year period.
