Dismissed
The claims for service connection for migraine headaches and a higher rating for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) were dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election of review options.
The deciding factor: The dismissal was based on a procedural defect related to the Veteran's election of different review options within one year of the AOJ decision.
