Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for higher initial ratings and earlier effective dates for right and left knee disabilities.
The deciding factor: The claims were dismissed due to a docket switch request by the Veteran, which placed them on a separate appeal stream awaiting scheduling of a requested Board hearing.
