The Board dismissed the motion for revision of the March 30, 1998 decision on grounds of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) as to the claim of entitlement to VA benefits. The appellant argued that there was CUE in failing to grant basic eligibility due to unrecognized service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant did not set forth specific allegations of error or indicate why the results would have been different but for alleged errors.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the claim is remanded due to missing procedural documents and a need for a medical opinion regarding the date of transfer to a VA facility based on medical stability. The case will be returned to the AOJ for further action.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone did not render her in need of regular aid and attendance or housebound status. The case is remanded for a VA medical opinion to determine if the Veteran needs aid and attendance, and whether she qualifies as housebound.
- Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for retroactive CRDP from January 31, 2018 in the amount of $79,239.89 due to concurrent receipt of VA compensation and pension, as the Veteran met the criteria for concurrent payment of military retired pay and VA disability compensation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's compensation benefits were reduced due to drill days completed in FY 2017, leading to overpayments. The VA incorrectly assessed and recouped multiple debt amounts, which the Board now requires a formal adjudication to determine if they are valid.
