Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for chronic sinusitis and chronic rhinitis due to an impermissible concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The issues were dismissed because they resulted from a prohibited concurrent election under the modernized review system, with no prejudice to the Veteran as the issues had already been adjudicated in another appeal stream.
