Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's requests for an extension of time to file appeals regarding denials of service connection for treatment purposes only under 38 U.S.C. Ch. 17 for bilateral hearing loss, paralysis of the left sciatic nerve, and bilateral plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that good cause had not been shown to accept late filings due to the veteran's ability to file documents within the one-year appeal periods or sooner than the April 16, 2025, Board Appeal request.
