Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeal for an initial compensable disability evaluation for right-wrist limited motion and scars due to concurrent Higher-Level Review requests.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's telephone call was insufficient as a withdrawal of the appeal, leading to an impermissible concurrent election of appeal options.
