Dismissed
The Board dismissed the issues of entitlement to an increased evaluation for GERD and service connection for insomnia, as the Veteran had a concurrent Higher-Level Review (HLR) request pending. The Board remanded the claims for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea and rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's concurrent HLR Request, which precluded simultaneous review through different appeal lanes.
