Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed decrease in rating for a left hip labral tear with surgery (flexion) was dismissed due to premature appeal.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 decision did not reduce the rating assigned, so there is no question of law or fact for the Board to decide on this issue.
