Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for sleep apnea, a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), and service connection for athlete's foot (tinea pedis) due to concurrent review elections.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a current diagnosis of tinea pedis. The Veteran's claims were dismissed as impermissible concurrent review elections.
