Dismissed
The appeal is dismissed as the issue of service connection for pseudofolliculitis has not been properly adjudicated, and the Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to a lack of justiciable case or controversy regarding the claim for pseudofolliculitis, as it had not been properly adjudicated by the AOJ in the one year prior to the receipt of the NOD. Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea was granted.
