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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an eye condition, finding that there was no evidence to support a finding of aggravation by service. The preponderance of the evidence indicated that the eye condition existed prior to service and did not worsen during service.
- Granted
The Board has granted a 30 percent evaluation for the veteran's left eye uveitis with history of chorioretinitis and post-operative cataract, effective as of the date of the decision.
- Denied
The VA determined that the veteran's left eye disability, diagnosed as choroiditis and chorioretinitis, does not warrant a rating higher than 10 percent due to current visual acuity of 20/40 in the affected eye.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable evaluation for chorioretinitis, service connection for generalized anxiety disorder and headaches, all of which were secondary to his service-connected chorioretinitis.
