Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal to restore a 40 percent disability rating for mild TBI, effective January 1, 2023. The reduction was deemed proper due to the veteran's failure to attend scheduled examinations.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not provide good cause for failing to schedule or report for the required examination.
