Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for sleep apnea was dismissed due to a procedural defect in the Veteran's election of review options.
The deciding factor: The Board docketed an impermissible concurrent election, which is a procedural defect, and the Veteran did not complete a new VA Form 10182 within the allotted time frame to cure said defect.
