Dismissed
The appeal of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for hypothyroidism was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's simultaneous appeals of the same issue, while a Higher-Level Review remained pending, constituted an impermissible concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act.
