Dismissed
The appeals related to the reduction of ratings and duty to assist errors for right knee conditions were dismissed due to procedural issues.
The deciding factor: The Veteran had already requested a higher-level review, which was still pending, so they could not concurrently file an appeal to the Board. Additionally, no final decision or determination on any point of fact or law was made in the relevant rating decisions.
