Dismissed
The Board vacated a previous decision and dismissed the veteran's claims for service connection of a low back condition and TDIU before October 1, 2015, due to the veteran opting into the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The veteran had opted into the AMA appeals system, making the legacy appeal ineligible.
