The appeal from the proposed reduction in the evaluation assigned for fibromyalgia was dismissed, and the reduction in rating for migraine headaches from 50 percent to 0 percent was upheld.
The deciding factor: The decision with which the Veteran disagreed in his VA Form 10182 pertaining to the proposed reduction in the rating assigned for fibromyalgia, was not an appealable determination. The rating reduction from 50 percent to 0 percent for migraine headaches was proper due to actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
