The Board has determined that the veteran's substantive appeals were not timely filed with respect to his claims of CUE in a 1992 rating decision and for an increased evaluation for psoriasis. As such, the Board does not have jurisdiction over these claims.
The deciding factor: The veteran's substantive appeal was received by the RO after the one-year time limit established by regulation, thus it is not timely filed.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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