Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for high blood pressure was dismissed due to the Veteran's passing and no properly substituted individual to continue the appeal.
The deciding factor: There is no remaining case or controversy to adjudicate regarding this issue as service connection has already been granted, and there is a clearly established procedural framework for appealing decisions and for initiating Board review of timely appealed rating decisions.
