Dismissed
The proposed reductions in the ratings for GERD and lumbosacral strain were dismissed as they were not final decisions, while the issues related to patellofemoral pain syndrome with tendinitis of both knees are remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 rating decision was merely a proposal and not a final decision, thus it is not appealable at this time.
