Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for sleep apnea was dismissed due to a concurrent election of review options.
The deciding factor: The Veteran filed an appeal while a Higher-Level Review (HLR) request for the same issue was still pending, which is prohibited under the modernized appeals system.
