Dismissed
The appeal for a higher rating for left lower extremity sciatic nerve radiculopathy was dismissed because the July 2021 rating decision implementing a Board grant is not appealable.
The deciding factor: A rating decision that implements a grant by the Board is not a decision which may be appealed, as it is a ministerial action with no room for choice or discretion.
