Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for entitlement to an earlier effective date for service connection for prostate cancer and obstructive sleep apnea due to a concurrent election of review options.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the prohibition against concurrent elections of different administrative review options under 38 U.S.C. § 5104C(a)(2)(A).
