Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, obstructive sleep apnea, bilateral restless leg syndrome, and functional abdominal pain syndrome was dismissed as moot due to a prior grant of benefits.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed because the Veteran was granted service connection for these conditions in a subsequent Board decision, making them moot.
