Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for right ankle, left ankle, hearing loss, and headaches due to untimeliness of the Veteran's Notice of Disagreement. The appeal for a left shoulder disability was denied as there is no evidence of a current disability.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed or denied due to the lack of timely filed Notice of Disagreements and the absence of evidence supporting service connection for the claimed conditions.
