Dismissed
The appeal for an increased rating for lumbosacral strain with intervertebral disc syndrome was dismissed as it was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide a valid reason for the late filing of the appeal within one year of the decision date, and thus good cause was not established to extend the time limit.
