Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction in the disability rating for service-connected asthma is dismissed due to a January 2025 rating decision that continued the Veteran's rating, rendering the issue moot.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 rating decision proposing a decrease in the rating for the Veteran's service-connected asthma did not effectuate a reduction and was merely a proposal, thus it is not appealable as of law.
