Dismissed
The Board denied the appeal for dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) as it was not timely filed, and no good cause was shown to extend the time limit.
The deciding factor: The Appellant's July 11, 2025, Board Appeal request was not timely because it was received more than one year after the rating decision issued on June 22, 2024, and there was no clear evidence to rebut the presumption of regularity in the mailing of the notification letter.
