Dismissed
The appeal seeking service connection for PTSD was dismissed due to an improper concurrent election under the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's filing of a January 2023 Notice of Disagreement (NOD) and April 2023 Supplemental Claims, on VA Form 20-0995, for review of the denial of his claim of entitlement to service connection for PTSD from an October 2022 rating decision constituted a prohibited concurrent election under the AMA.
