Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for PTSD was dismissed due to an improper concurrent election of review options, and the claim for alcoholism was denied as a matter of law.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the prohibition of concurrent elections under the modernized review system and the lack of a viable theory of entitlement for alcoholism.
