Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to a procedural defect in the Veteran's submissions, as review of the May 2022 and March 2022 rating decisions could only be sought 'in one review lane at a time.'
The deciding factor: The Veteran submitted both a VA Form 10182 Decision Review Request: Board Appeal (Notice of Disagreement) and a VA Form 20-0995 Decision Review Request: Supplemental Claim on the same day, which is not allowed under current regulations.
