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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not render him unable to engage or retain substantially gainful employment prior to October 1, 2019. Therefore, the claim for a TDIU prior to that date is denied.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's debt of $3,578 is being remanded due to a review of her award of VA benefits that includes the retroactive payment of CRDP compensation. The matter will be reconsidered based on whether this award resolved the debt or if there is any balance due.
- Denied
The veteran was not underpaid his VA service-connected disability compensation during the period from December 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002.
