DismissedPACT Act
The appeal for service connection for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was dismissed as the Board had already granted it in a previous decision, and the AOJ assigned an effective date of August 30, 2022.
The deciding factor: The appeal is dismissed because there is no case or controversy remaining for appellate consideration with respect to the claim of entitlement to service connection for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, as it has been fully granted by the Board and AOJ.
