Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for earlier effective dates and increased ratings for right and left lower extremity radiculopathy due to procedural issues.
The deciding factor: The matters were dismissed as they could not be properly before the Board in two separate appeals, and the decisions were issued while the earlier effective date matter remained pending at the Board level.
