Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal as there was no justiciable case or controversy regarding the issues of entitlement to a TDIU and proposed reductions in disability ratings for various conditions.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 and August 2024 rating decisions were not final determinations, but rather proposals that were not appealable as they did not constitute final decisions on the merits.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
