Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for service connection for bilateral dry eye syndrome, sleep apnea, and a left arm disability due to untimely filing of the appeal requests.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file a Board Appeal request within one year from the date that the agency of original jurisdiction mailed notice of the decision, and good cause was not shown for an extension of time to file the appeal.
