Dismissed
The appeal regarding a duty-to-assist error in the June 2023 review decision for hemorrhoids was dismissed because it was not an appealable decision. The Veteran can seek a higher rating within one year of receiving notice of the September 2024 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 decision did not constitute an adjudicative determination and thus was not appealable.
