Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals of proposed reductions in disability ratings for lumbosacral strain with degenerative arthritis, bilateral plantar fasciitis, and right shoulder strain with rotator cuff tendonitis and clavicle deformity as they are not appealable determinations.
The deciding factor: No actual reduction in the ratings occurred at the time of the appeal, and a proposed rating decision is not an adjudicative determination that can be appealed.
