Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for service connection for alcohol abuse, fatigue and PTSD under 38 U.S.C. chapter 17 as the appeal was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The July 21, 2024 Board Appeal request was not timely filed because it was received more than one year after the rating decision issued on April 28, 2020, and good cause has not been shown to accept the late filing.
