Dismissed
The veteran's appeal requests for service connection for coronary artery disease, hypertension, and PTSD were dismissed as they were not timely filed within one year of the respective rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide good cause to extend the time to file a Board Appeal request within the one-year period after the respective rating decisions, and his health issues did not impact his ability to file an appeal in a timely manner.
