Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction in the Veteran's service-connected hypertension rating is dismissed because the reduction has not been effectuated and the decision was merely a proposal.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's decision to defer a ruling on the proposed reduction does not constitute a final determination, thus disagreement with such a proposal does not place the issue in appellate status.
