Denied
The Veteran's appeals for service connection of prostate cancer and coronary artery disease were denied because the requests for Higher-level Review were not filed on time.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file the request for Higher-level Review within one year of the notice of the Agency of Original Jurisdiction decision, and no good cause was shown to extend the time limit.
