Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for a low back condition and the appeals related to duty to assist errors in evaluations of lower extremity radiculopathy, as there were no final decisions on these issues.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA Form 10182 was filed prematurely, and the AOJ had not yet issued a decision on the issue listed. Additionally, the October 2024 rating decision granted service connection for a low back disability, making the appeal moot.
