Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed rating reduction from 70 percent to 50 percent for service-connected major depressive disorder is dismissed because it was not a final decision.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 rating decision did not constitute an adjudicative determination, as no action or actual decrease in the disability rating occurred.
