Dismissed
The appeal for an increased amount of apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits based on cost of living (COLA) adjustments and increases in the Veteran's combined disability rating was dismissed as it was not adjudicated in the October 2022 notification letter.
The deciding factor: The issue raised by the Veteran's December 2022 NOD was improper as it was not an issue adjudicated in the October 2022 notification letter, and there can be no case or controversy attached to the letter.
