Dismissed
The veteran's appeals for service connection for lumbosacral strain, tinnitus, bilateral flat feet, and left ankle deltoid ligament sprain with instability were dismissed due to untimely Board Appeal requests.
The deciding factor: The appeals were not timely filed within one year of the rating decisions, and good cause was not shown to extend the time limit.
