Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for accrued benefits related to increased ratings for various conditions, as the July 2024 rating decision was a purely ministerial implementation of the June 2024 Board decision and not appealable.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 Notice of Disagreement did not qualify as a motion for reconsideration of the June 2024 Board decision, as it failed to identify the specific issues in that decision and was filed after the 120-day period to file a Notice of Appeal.
