The appeal of the service connection claim for Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome was dismissed as the September 2024 rating decision that deferred adjudication of the claim is not an appealable determination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a deferral of adjudication does not constitute a final decision and thus, there is no case or controversy over which they have jurisdiction.
