The appeal for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for a bladder disorder and the appeals for service connection for various conditions were dismissed due to untimely filing of the notice of disagreement (NOD) within one year from the date that the agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ) mailed the notice of the rating decision being appealed.

The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the Veteran did not file a properly completed notice of disagreement (NOD) (VA Form 10182) within one year from the date that the AOJ mailed the notice of the rating decision being appealed, and no good cause for the untimely filing was shown.
