The Board dismissed the motion alleging clear and unmistakable error (CUE) in a March 1985 decision that terminated the veteran's total rating due to unemployability caused by service-connected disabilities. The moving party did not have legal standing to pursue this motion.
The deciding factor: The moving party was not a party to the Board's decision and therefore does not have legal standing to seek review for CUE in a decision made during the veteran's lifetime.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
