Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection of diabetes mellitus, type 2 as secondary to PTSD due to a deferred decision in February 2025 that was not final.
The deciding factor: The February 2025 rating decision did not constitute an adjudicative determination from which an appeal may be filed, and the Board lacks jurisdiction over this claim.
