The appeal regarding the propriety of the proposed reduction in rating and reevaluation of insomnia disorder to combine with tinnitus is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 rating decision concerning this issue is not a final agency action, as it merely noted a proposed evaluation of comorbid psychiatric disorders together, which would result in a reduction in compensation. The Veteran prematurely appealed the proposed rating decision, which did not include any final, binding agency action.
