Dismissed
The appeal for a total disability rating prior to August 16, 2001, based solely on a service-connected neck disability and an increased disability level of special monthly compensation SMC(r)2 were dismissed. The Veteran was granted an initial disability rating of 100 percent for his service-connected psychiatric disability from November 20, 2001, among other grants.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to the Veteran's withdrawal of these specific claims prior to the Board's decision being promulgated.
