Dismissed
The appeal for both an increased disability evaluation for allergic rhinitis and service connection for sinusitis was dismissed due to a concurrent election of issues already on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board found dismissal appropriate as the Veteran concurrently filed claims that were improperly adjudicated by the RO, leading to a duplicate appeal process.
