Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for both the denial of service connection for hearing loss and tinnitus, as well as the grant of service connection for a traumatic brain injury, due to untimely filing.
The deciding factor: The appeals were not timely filed, and good cause was not shown to extend the time limit for filing an appeal.
