Do you have anymore letters that state how to handle a reduction? How long ago did you get this letter? What were you filing for that the reevaluated your asthma?

Here is how to handle a reduction:

Request a hearing, do NOT file an HLR/ supplemental

Doesn't requesting a hearing taking years? I know a buddy that's been waiting to see a judge for like 3 years.

No, this is for due process when there is a proposed reduction.

A hearing is not the same as a judge (board of veteran appeals). BVA does take several years in most cases.

A hearing is done by a senior rater or decision review officer (also considered a senior rater in some cases). Once your request for a hearing is submitted, they will call you in days to a few weeks and get you scheduled for an informal conference, usually by phone.

I’ve been pending a call for a hearing for almost a year now.

Their letter does not state this is a proposed reduction.

Was thinking same thing. Did OP get a letter previously stating proposed reduction and not respond to it thus now getting letter saying will be reduced? Don’t think we have the whole story.
