Dismissed
The appeal for an evaluation in excess of 10 percent and an earlier effective date prior to May 1, 2000 for service-connected tinnitus was dismissed as the June 2023 rating decision did not address these issues.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because there was no valid decision for which the Veteran could appeal regarding their tinnitus claim.
