Dismissed
The appeal for increased ratings and earlier effective dates for various conditions, including radiculopathy of the right upper extremity, left lower extremity (femoral nerve), obstructive sleep apnea, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and migraine headaches, was dismissed. The Board also remanded claims for initial disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The appellant withdrew his appeal for an increased rating in excess of 20 percent for right upper extremity radiculopathy, and the Board lacks jurisdiction to conduct more than one review on appeal of the effective dates and ratings for these conditions.
