Dismissed
The appeal of service connection for hypertension was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election by the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 in November 2023 was deemed an impermissible concurrent election with a prior Higher-Level-Review request, and thus the docket must be dismissed.
