Dismissed
The appeal for earlier effective dates for awards of service connection for erectile dysfunction, special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, and the assignment of a 40 percent rating for residuals of bladder cancer was dismissed due to an impermissible concurrent election under the Appeals Modernized Act.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because it resulted from a prohibited concurrent election under the AMA, as the Veteran did not withdraw his July 2024 Supplemental Claim request before submitting the December 2024 VA Form 10182 for the same earlier effective date issues.
