The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for psychiatric disability, claimed as anxiety, PTSD, and depression, and left leg disability due to untimeliness of the appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeals were not timely filed within one year from the date of notice of the June 6, 2023 rating decision regarding the left leg disability claim, and there was no good cause shown for the delay. The psychiatric disability claim was rendered moot as service connection was granted by the RO.
