Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for service connection for traumatic brain injury, stress fracture of the right foot, bilateral flat feet, and bilateral hearing loss due to untimely Notices of Disagreement. The claim for a right knee disability was remanded.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed because the Veteran did not file timely Notices of Disagreement within one year of the rating decisions denying service connection, with no evidence of good cause shown.
