Dismissed
The appeal contesting the proposed decrease of service-connected lumbosacral strain from 40 percent disabling to a noncompensable rating is dismissed because the August 2023 rating decision was not final.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the February 2024 rating decision, which proposed a decrease from 40 percent disabling to a noncompensable rating for service-connected lumbosacral strain was not final, and therefore there is no issue of law and fact for the Board to decide.
