Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the veteran did not file a notice of disagreement within one year of the rating decision, and good cause for an extension was not shown.
The deciding factor: The veteran's attorney was able to timely seek review of multiple other rating decisions during the same period, indicating that COVID-19 did not prevent a timely appeal.
