Dismissed
The appeal regarding a proposed rating reduction for traumatic brain injury (TBI) was dismissed because the Veteran did not properly file an appeal within one year of the proposed rating decision.
The deciding factor: The proposed rating reduction is not an adjudicative determination that can be appealed, as no final rating reduction had yet taken place.
