Dismissed
The appeal of a proposal to reduce the disability rating from 100 percent to 60 percent for brain tumor was dismissed as it was premature and not an appealable decision.
The deciding factor: The November 2021 rating decision was only a proposed action, not a final decision that could be appealed.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
