Dismissed
The Veteran's appeals for service connection of various conditions have been dismissed. The claims for TBI, dizziness, HTN, bone spur and wart of the right foot, blurred vision, plantar fasciitis of the left foot, migraine headaches, and residuals of fractured right shoulder were not reopened due to lack of new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence did not provide sufficient information to establish that any of these conditions were incurred or aggravated by service.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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