Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction in rating for status-post bladder tumor resection from 100 percent to 20 percent was dismissed as it is not a final action and cannot be appealed.
The deciding factor: A proposed rating decision cannot be appealed because it is not a final action, and there were no specific errors of fact or law that could be addressed in the 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
