Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for hypertension, pleurisy, bilateral elbows, sinusitis, and rhinitis was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the Board Appeal request.
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 for an extension was not shown.
