Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and a TDIU due to improper concurrent election of review options, and denied service connection for COPD as there is no current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were dismissed due to an improper concurrent election of review options, and the claim for COPD was denied due to the absence of a current diagnosis.
