Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeal regarding increased disability ratings and earlier effective dates for service-connected right heel tendonitis with osteoarthritis of the right ankle and migraine headaches due to a finding of duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The Higher-Level Review adjudicator did not decide any question of law or fact, but instead informed the Veteran that it was returning the claims to the AOJ for further development.
