Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the benefit sought in the notice of disagreement was granted in full, and there is no case or controversy for the Board to adjudicate.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 rating decision granted service connection for the Veteran's low back disability effective from the same date of claim that gave rise to the October 2024 rating decision, making the appeal moot.
