Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for a disability rating more than 20 percent for multiple sclerosis with left and right lower extremity neuropathy prior to July 18, 2018, due to the severance of service connection effective September 1, 2025.
The deciding factor: The Board is bound by the mandatory authority of a June 2025 rating decision that severed service connection for multiple sclerosis with left and right lower extremity neuropathy, precluding any retrospective increased rating.
