Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as the Veteran appealed a ministerial rating decision that implemented a final Board decision, which was not a proper manner in which to seek review of the November 2023 Board decision.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA Form 10182 did not qualify as a motion for reconsideration due to missing the required date and thus could only address ministerial actions, not challenge the merits of the Board's decision.
