Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's explicit withdrawal of his claims for increased ratings and service connection, with full understanding of the consequences.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that rhabdomyolysis is related to active duty service, and the Veteran withdrew his appeals for increased ratings on his shin splints.
