Dismissed
The claim as to the propriety of the apportionment of $100 per month of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits on behalf of T.F. is dismissed due to untimeliness of the Veteran's substantive appeal.
The deciding factor: The untimely filing of the Veteran's VA Form 9, which is a procedural defect, prevented the Board from adjudicating the merits of this appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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