Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's freestanding claims for earlier effective dates for service connection for chronic maxillary sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, as they were not filed within one year of the unappealed rating decisions that granted service connection.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed because they were filed well over a year after the unappealed rating actions granting service connection for both disorders, or otherwise addressing the effective dates of service connection.
