The Board denied the veteran's appeal to reopen a claim for service connection for enuresis, finding that new and material evidence had not been submitted.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim of service connection for enuresis or raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating such claim.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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