Dismissed
The appeal for a TDIU effective March 13, 2013 was dismissed as the claim was granted in September 2023. The Board also denied entitlement to a TDIU prior to March 13, 2013.
The deciding factor: The criteria for a TDIU were not met prior to March 13, 2013, and the increase occurred more than one year before the claim was filed in October 2016.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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