Dismissed
The proposal to reduce the rating assigned to Major Depressive Disorder with anxious distress from 70 percent to 50 percent was dismissed due to it not being an initial decision.
The deciding factor: The issue was docketed prematurely as the proposed reduction had not been effectuated at the time of appeal submission.
