Dismissed
The appeal pertaining to the proposed reduction of the evaluation for service-connected hearing loss from 80% to 50% was dismissed due to it being a proposal and not a final decision.
The deciding factor: The June 2025 rating decision proposing the reduction in the Veteran's service-connected hearing loss rating was not a final decision, thus the Board lacks jurisdiction over the appeal.
