Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for testicular torsion was dismissed due to the Veteran's concurrent election of review under different appeal lanes, which is prohibited by current regulations.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the prohibition against concurrent elections of administrative review options as per 38 C.F.R. § 3.2500(b) and a recent Court holding in Terry v. McDonough, 37 Vet. App. 1 (2023).
