Dismissed
The appeal of the October 2019 rating decision denying service connection for anxiety was dismissed because the Veteran did not file a notice of disagreement within one year and good cause for late filing was not shown.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for cervical spine disability during the appeal period showed he could have filed timely, negating COVID-related excuses.
