Dismissed
The Veteran's claim for service connection for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was dismissed due to a procedural defect with the filing of concurrent administrative review options.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act, which prohibited the simultaneous pursuit of different administrative review options for the same claim within one year of the AOJ's decision.
