Dismissed
The veteran's appeal for service connection for a lumbar spine disability and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy was denied because the appeal was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not timely filed as it was received more than one year after the rating decision, and good cause was not shown to extend the time limit.
