Dismissed
The appeal for a higher (compensable) disability rating for anterior trunk surgical scars was dismissed due to the July 2025 rating decision merely implementing the Board's previous decision, which is not appealable.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 rating decision implemented the Board's prior decision and thus is not appealable; the Veteran's submission did not qualify as a proper appeal of this decision.
