Dismissed
The appeal regarding the rating reduction for migraines and entitlement to service connection for TBI was dismissed due to an improper concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The issues were dismissed as a matter of law because they constituted an improper concurrent election under the AMA, which prohibits electing multiple review options simultaneously for the same claim or issue.
