Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request for substitution as a claimant in pending VA appeals due to the untimely filing of the request.
The deciding factor: The filing period for requesting substitution began on the date of the Veteran's death and had to be submitted within one year, which was not met by the appellant's January 2022 submission.
