Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran prematurely filed a Notice of Disagreement attempting to appeal a proposed reduction in rating that had not yet occurred.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 rating decision merely proposed a reduction, and no final decision reducing the disability rating had been made at the time of the July 2025 NOD.
