Dismissed
The Veteran's requests for extensions of time to file appeals from rating decisions that denied service connection were denied, and the attempted appeals are dismissed.
The deciding factor: Good cause was not shown to extend the time limits for filing the Board Appeal requests due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and related disruptions.
