Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for service connection for ischemic heart disease, residuals of a TBI, and residuals of a skull fracture due to the untimely filing of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not timely filed as it was received more than one year after the rating decisions were issued, and no good cause was shown to extend the time limit.
