Dismissed
The appeal for increased ratings for bilateral hip disabilities was dismissed because the veteran had a pending Higher-Level Review request at the time of filing the Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Board dismissed the appeal due to concurrent elections of review lanes, as the veteran did not withdraw the prior HLR request before filing the NOD.
