Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction in the rating for migraine disability from 50 percent to 10 percent is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The July 2021 rating decision was not a final determination, and thus the Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of this appeal.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
