Dismissed
The appeal of entitlement to special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance/housebound was dismissed due to a prohibited concurrent election under the Appeals Modernization Act.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 Notice of Disagreement was an impermissible concurrent election as the Veteran had previously elected the Higher-Level Review option for this issue.
