Just a general question. Sometimes a DRO will speak with a SO on a multi-issue claim and ask what will satisfy the appeal.
(EXAMPLE) Now if a veteran does not have a SO, would it be appropriate for the veteran to submit a statement and tell the DRO that approval of, for example issue one and three would satisfy the claim and all other 6 issues would be withdrawn if issues 1 and 3 were awarded ?
I have a veteran who has 10 issues on appeal. Two of them, which I am sure he will win at the BVA based upon his medical evidence, will result in an award of 100 percent. The other 8 issues are valid and will probably succeed, however, they are small non life threating issues which will result in 0 and 10 percent awards.

Thanks for the input.
