The Board has dismissed all issues on appeal due to the Veteran's concurrent election of a supplemental claim, higher level review, and Board review.
The deciding factor: The Veteran elected into the modernized review system under the AMA, which means his legacy appeal is no longer applicable. As such, there are no allegations of errors for appellate consideration under that system.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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