The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the assignment of a total disability evaluation for Graves' Disease is dismissed. The claims of CUE in April 2004 and May 2005 rating decisions are denied.
The deciding factor: The RO considered all evidence of record, including psychiatric symptoms, and applied the correct criteria to determine that no greater than a 10 percent evaluation was warranted during the period in question.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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