Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for hypertension and heart condition as they were not final decisions, and denied an initial compensable rating for rash and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support the assignment of a compensable rating for the Veteran's rash or a TDIU. The Board found that the criteria for dismissal of the claims for service connection for hypertension and heart condition had been met, as these were deferred decisions without final agency actions.
