Dismissed
The appeal of the November 2024 non-final rating decision, deferring the adjudication of the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for service-connected intervertebral disc syndrome, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis, was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 rating decision was not a final adjudication of the Veteran's claim, as it deferred final adjudication, making the April 2025 VA Form 10182 premature for filing an appeal.
