The Veteran's appeal for an initial compensable rating for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia has been dismissed because her attorney withdrew the appeal before a decision was made.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's attorney notified VA that she wished to withdraw the appeal, and therefore there are no specific errors of fact or law to review.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Remanded (sent back)
