Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for tinnitus was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 was invalid as it included a claim seeking entitlement to service connection for tinnitus, which was pending before the AOJ awaiting the issuance of a Supplemental Claim rating decision.
