Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a TBI or other injury to the brain was dismissed because the November 2022 rating decision finding a duty to assist error is not an appealable issue.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the November 2022 rating decision, which identified a duty to assist error, was not an adverse decision and therefore could not be appealed.
