Dismissed
The veteran's appeal request was denied as it was not timely filed, and no good cause was shown to extend the filing period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran did not provide clear evidence of regularity in the mailing of the notice or sufficient reason for the late filing within the one-year appeal period.
