Dismissed
The appeal regarding the proposed reduction in disability ratings for chronic lumbosacral strain and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis status post end stage renal disease was dismissed as it was premature. The appeals for higher ratings of sciatic radiculopathy were remanded due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The proposed rating reductions were not final agency action, making the appeal premature and invalid.
