Dismissed
The appeal for service connection for hypertension and sleep apnea was dismissed due to a duty to assist error in the April 2025 rating decision.
The deciding factor: Dismissing the appeal as there is no specific determination on any point of fact or law to appeal, given that the April 2025 rating decision proposed a reduction but was not a final action.
