Dismissed
The appeal seeking entitlement to service connection for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) was dismissed because the February 2025 rating decision did not adjudicate this issue and an implementing decision by the agency of original jurisdiction is not appealable to the Board.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 did not identify the date of the Board decision, as required by 38 C.F.R. § 20.1002(a), and therefore does not qualify as a motion for reconsideration of the February 2025 Board decision.
