Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for GERD and obstructive sleep apnea due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors identified during Higher Level Review, while remanding the claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for aortic dissection and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors that required further development by the agency of original jurisdiction (AOJ).
