Dismissed
The appeal for service connection of cervical dystonia was dismissed because the veteran passed away during the pendency of the appeal. The dismissal does not affect the right of an eligible person to take the Veteran's place to continue the appeal on the pending claims.
The deciding factor: The Board cannot issue a decision on the underlying claims at this time and must dismiss this appeal due to the veteran's death.
