Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for prostate cancer and an acquired psychiatric condition was dismissed due to a pending Higher Level Review (HLR) request.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's May 2025 NOD was invalid as it constituted a concurrent election of review options, which is prohibited by statute and regulation.
