Dismissed
The appeal regarding the proposed reductions in ratings for prostate cancer and lung cancer, as well as the proposal to discontinue special monthly compensation, was dismissed due to lack of a final adjudicative determination.
The deciding factor: The June 26, 2025, proposed reductions were not final determinations by the VA, hence they are not appealable issues.
