Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal because the rating for lumbar spine degenerative arthritis with IVDS was restored to 20 percent, making the issue moot.
The deciding factor: The issue is dismissed because the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) restored the Veteran's original 20 percent rating from January 17, 2023, the date of the original reduction.
