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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for recognition of C.R. as the 'helpless child' was denied due to insufficient evidence, and thus remains denied. The claim for D.R. is reopened but requires further examination to determine if he became permanently incapable of self-support before age 18.
- Denied
The appellant's mother did not serve in or visit Vietnam, and therefore is not eligible for benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1815 due to her lack of service connection.
- Denied
The veteran's service-connected pyloric stenosis with duodenal ulcer is currently asymptomatic and does not warrant an increased rating.
