Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed action to reduce the disability ratings for neck strain with degenerative disc disease and cervical spondylosis, left upper extremity radiculopathy, and right upper extremity radiculopathy are dismissed as a matter of law.
The deciding factor: The VA Form 10182 was premature as the AOJ had not yet effectuated a reduction in the ratings for the disabilities at the time it was filed.
