Dismissed
The appeal for a higher rating for a left knee scar was dismissed due to untimely filing of the Board Appeal request.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file an appeal within one year from the date that the agency of original jurisdiction mailed notice of the decision, and no good cause was shown to extend the time limit.
