The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus and granted service connection for angina pectoris earlier than February 20, 1991. The decision also remanded the issue of a rating in excess of 30 percent for angina pectoris with hypertension and sinus tachycardia. The motion for CUE was dismissed without prejudice to refiling.
The deciding factor: The veteran did not provide specific allegations of error that would have resulted in a different outcome if the Board had considered certain evidence or applied the law differently.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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