Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran did not timely file a Board Appeal request with respect to the rating decision issued on October 19, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's contention that he is 'really bad of hearing' does not constitute good cause for why the Board Appeal request was not timely filed or filed sooner than it was.
