Dismissed
The appeal seeking review of a proposed reduction in the evaluation of bilateral hearing loss from 50 percent to 20 percent was dismissed because it was not a final decision by the AOJ.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 rating decision did not contain a dispute of fact or law relevant to the present issue for the Board to adjudicate as the rating decision was not a final rating action as contemplated by 38 C.F.R. § 3.105(e).
