Dismissed
The appeal regarding the proposed severance of service connection and adjustment of effective date for special monthly compensation was dismissed as they were not final rating decisions. The reduction in evaluation of left knee strain with limitation of extension from 10 percent to noncompensable was found improper.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate an actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life, and the reduction based on clear and unmistakable error was not proper.
