Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction of the disability evaluation for low back degenerative arthritis from 40 percent to 10 percent was dismissed because it was a notice of a future determination and not an adjudicative determination.
The deciding factor: The proposed reduction did not constitute an appealable adjudicative action as it was merely a notice of a future determination.
