Dismissed
The Board denied the veteran's requests for extensions of time to file appeals regarding rating decisions that denied service connection for hepatitis B and tinnitus, finding no good cause for late filings.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not timely file appeal requests within one year of the respective rating decision dates, and provided insufficient evidence of good cause for the delays.
