Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for degenerative arthritis of the thoracolumbar spine, left ankle strain, left wrist disorder, right ankle strain, right hip strain, and erectile dysfunction associated with right knee derangement due to an improper concurrent election.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's appeals were dismissed because he improperly elected review options concurrently, which is prohibited under the modernized review system.
