Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, claimed as anxiety and PTSD; a back injury; right knee, Osgood Schlatter condition; and thyroid nodular disease, non-malignant due to the rule against concurrent election.
The deciding factor: The rule against concurrent election prohibits filing a new review option while ongoing review is pending final adjudication.
