A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Denied
The Board found that the Veteran's left lower extremity reflex sympathetic dystrophy is not causally or etiologically related to any disease, injury, or incident in service.
- Granted
The Veteran's appeal for automobile and adaptive equipment or a special home adaptation grant is granted. The claim for a special home adaptation grant is moot due to the RO's December 2011 grant of specially adapted housing.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a fractured left hip secondary to his service-connected residuals of fracture of the left tibia and fibula, finding no evidence linking the hip fracture to the service-connected condition.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
