Dismissed
The appeal for an increased rating for the Veteran's service-connected psychological disorder and entitlement to TDIU remains pending in the legacy appeal system.
The deciding factor: Because the June and August 2024 rating decisions were not initial decisions such that the AMA is applicable and the issues remain pending in the ongoing legacy appeal, the November 2024 VA Form 10182 is improper, and this appeal must be dismissed.
