Dismissed
The veteran's appeal requests for service connection and increased ratings were denied due to untimeliness, as the appeals were not filed within one year of the respective rating decisions.
The deciding factor: The appeals were not timely filed, and good cause was not shown to extend the time limit for filing an appeal.
