Dismissed
The veteran's appeals for extensions of time to file Board Appeal requests were denied, and the attempted appeals were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file a Board Appeal request within one year from the date that the agency of original jurisdiction mailed notice of the decision, and good cause has not been shown to accept the late filings.
