Dismissed
The Board denied service connection for deviated septum and dismissed the appeals for separate compensable rating for headaches, rating in excess of 10 percent for pansinusitis and frontal sinusitis, rating in excess of 10 percent for allergic rhinitis, and service connection for right ankle strain due to procedural issues.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current disability or an in-service event related to the deviated septum. The appeals were dismissed as they constituted prohibited concurrent elections.
