Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for urinary retention due to a concurrent review request that was not permitted under the Appeals Modernization Act. The issue of entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's improper concurrent election of review under different appeal lanes, which is not allowed under the AMA.
