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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for his left ingrown toenail and tinea unguium onychomycosis, finding that the symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7813.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities have not precluded him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation at any time during the period on appeal, and therefore TDIU is denied.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims of service connection for left and right ingrown toenails due to a lack of current disability during the period on appeal.
- Granted
