Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the Veteran appealed a proposed severance of service connection rather than a final decision.
The deciding factor: The NOD was improper as the April 2021 rating decision did not constitute an adjudication of an issue, but merely a proposal for a future adjudication.
