Dismissed
The appeal of the May 6, 2025, rating decision that proposed to sever service connection for a left lateral collateral ligament sprain is dismissed.
The deciding factor: There was no case or controversy for appellate review as the regional office did not issue a rating decision effectuating the severance and such decisions are not appealable because they are not final rating actions.
