Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran did not timely file a Board Appeal request for the rating decisions issued on November 10, 2022, and September 13, 2023, that denied service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not timely filed because it was received more than one year after the rating decisions were issued, and good cause was not shown to extend the filing period.
