Dismissed
The appeal for an increased rating in excess of 30 percent for GERD from September 28, 2021, to November 29, 2021, was dismissed as the AOJ's decision was purely ministerial and not appealable.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the AOJ's implementation of its own prior decision was a purely ministerial act and thus not subject to further appeal.
