Dismissed
The appeal for increased ratings for the Veteran's service-connected conditions was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election of review options.
The deciding factor: The concurrent election of review options under the Appeals Modernization Act is prohibited, and the July 2023 VA Form 10182 appeal was deemed invalid.
