The appeal regarding the proposed reduction in the disability rating for asthma with sarcoidosis from 60 percent to 30 percent was dismissed as it was not a final decision.
The deciding factor: The proposed rating reduction was not an appealable decision, and the Board does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate the propriety of the proposed reduction.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
