Partly granted
The appeals for back disorder, bilateral foot disorder, high blood pressure, and bilateral hearing loss were dismissed due to procedural issues. The appeals for right shoulder disorder, left shoulder disorder, right knee disorder, and left knee disorder were denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had a pending higher-level review request that was converted to a supplemental claim, making the Board appeal improperly concurrent.
