Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a heart disability and Parkinson's disease was dismissed as a matter of law due to a procedural defect.
The deciding factor: The August 2025 Notice of Disagreement was an impermissible concurrent election of the April 2022 rating decision because the June 2024 Supplemental Claim was still pending when the Notice of Disagreement was filed.
