Partly granted
The appeal regarding the reduction in rhinitis rating was dismissed because no actual reduction had occurred. The claim for sleep apnea was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's June 2023 VA Form 10182 was submitted prematurely before any action that affected the provision of a benefit took place, making the issue not ripe for appellate review.
