Dismissed
The appeal of entitlement to service connection for COPD was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Notice of Disagreement was filed more than one year after the December 2019 rating decision, and no good cause was shown to extend the filing period.
