Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed rating reduction for PTSD was dismissed as it was based on a premature notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the Veteran's Notice of Disagreement was submitted prematurely, addressing a proposed rating reduction rather than the final decision that implemented the reduction.
