Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for aortic aneurysm, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, and COPD as they were either moot or not supported by new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to the Veteran's explicit withdrawal of some issues and lack of new and relevant evidence supporting others.
