Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for PTSD, diabetic retinopathy, sleep apnea, and diabetes mellitus as they were improperly filed or not properly before the Board.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to procedural issues with the filing of the appeals and lack of a valid rating decision addressing the specific conditions in question within the one-year period prior to the appeal.
