Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction in the rating for lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis and degenerative disc disease was dismissed as it is not a final action.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 rating decision only proposed a reduction, which is not a final determination, and thus the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal.
