Dismissed
The untimely appeal seeking entitlement to service connection for heat stroke and the attempted appeal of entitlement to service connection for headaches were both dismissed.
The deciding factor: The NODs were either filed after the one-year period or constituted an impermissible concurrent election while a higher-level review was still pending, making them invalid.
