Dismissed
The appeal of a proposed reduction in the disability rating for lumbosacral strain from 20% to 10% was dismissed because it was not an appealable decision.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 rating decision proposing the reduction was only non-final and thus not appealable to the Board.
