Dismissed
The Board dismissed the issue of entitlement to revision of a January 1983 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) because the claim for total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was not adjudicated in that decision.
The deciding factor: The TDIU claim remains pending, so there is no final decision to revise on CUE grounds.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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