Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was dismissed due to the Veteran not filing a timely notice of disagreement within one year of the November 1993 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 notice of disagreement could not be accepted as it was outside the one-year period for filing, and no good cause was provided.
