Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for service connection for depression, teeth grinding, obstructive sleep apnea, and an extraschedular rating for tinnitus due to a procedural defect in the filing of concurrent elections.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 Notice of Disagreement was dismissed as it resulted from an impermissible concurrent election and was docketed by the Board in error.
