Dismissed
The appeal regarding the proposed reduction of the Veteran's disability rating for asthma with chronic bronchitis and COPD is dismissed because the February 2024 decision was not a final determination by the VA.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the February 2024 decision did not constitute a final decision as it merely provided information to the Veteran regarding his rights and notice of possible future action, thus the filing of a notice of disagreement does not place the issue in appellate status.
