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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to a scheduling issue for a videoconference hearing. The appellant's appeal remains pending and will be scheduled for a hearing.
- Denied
The Veteran's claims for higher evaluations of his residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna with arthritis, as well as his radial neuropathy, were denied. His claim for TDIU was remanded.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna do not warrant a rating in excess of 20 percent, as there is no evidence showing nonunion with false movement or loss of bone substance. The current disability picture does not meet the criteria for a higher evaluation.
- Denied
The Board found that the current 10 percent evaluation for residuals of a fracture of the left radius and ulna does not adequately reflect the severity of this disability, as evidenced by mild restriction of forearm pronation and supination, full forearm flexion and extension.
