Dismissed
The appeal for a proposed reduction in the evaluation of the PTSD disability was dismissed due to it not being a final appealable action.
The deciding factor: The appeal was premature as it was filed before the institution of any proposed reduction or determination on the merits of the appropriate rating to be applied.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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