The veteran's appeal is dismissed as no justiciable case or controversy is before the Board at this time.
The deciding factor: The appellant withdrew his appeal by stating that he was satisfied with the issue of apportionment of the 10 percent rating and noted that the RO had charged him with an overpayment, which he found unfair.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
