Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, was dismissed because the Veteran did not file the correct form within the required time frame.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's filing in May 2023 was untimely and did not include a request for an extension of time to file such an appeal along with good cause for the necessity of such an extension.
