The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition, including PTSD and anxiety due to untimely filing of a notice of disagreement. The appeal was also denied for kidney cancer as there is no current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file a notice of disagreement within one year of the rating decision denying service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition, including PTSD and anxiety, and good cause has not been shown to extend the time for filing. For kidney cancer, there is no current diagnosis to support a claim.
