Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeal as a matter of law because the August 2024 rating decision merely implemented an earlier Board decision granting service connection for left and right shoulder conditions, which is not appealable.
The deciding factor: The August 29, 2024, rating decision did not constitute an appealable decision since it was merely implementing a prior Board grant of service connection.
