Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for a knee condition was dismissed as the September 2022 rating decision did not address any issue regarding the knees.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to lack of a valid decision for which the Veteran could appeal, and the RO only adjudicated the tinnitus claim.
