Dismissed
The appeal for entitlement to service connection for the Veteran's cause of death (DIC) was dismissed due to a procedural defect as it was improperly docketed.
The deciding factor: The Appellant did not properly withdraw the May 5, 2023 Supplemental Claim Application prior to the AOJ issuing a September 15, 2025 rating decision; thus, the Board Appeal constitutes an improper concurrent election and is dismissed.
