Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for service connection of tinnitus, lower back condition, and erectile dysfunction because the original decision was deferred and not final.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 rating decision deferred these issues pending further development, so it is not an adjudicative determination from which an appeal may be filed.
