Dismissed
The appeal of the proposed reduction of the 20 percent disability rating assigned to the Veteran's SI joint dysfunction, to include sciatica, to a 10 percent disability rating is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 rating decision's proposed reduction was not a final agency action and therefore cannot be appealed to the Board.
