Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for OSA, an increased rating for IBS, and an earlier effective date for bilateral tinnitus was withdrawn by the Veteran. The issue of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder is remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran withdrew his appeals for service connection for OSA, an increased rating for IBS, and an earlier effective date for bilateral tinnitus at a Board hearing in June 2024, and the remaining issue of an acquired psychiatric disorder was remanded due to a need for additional evidence.
