Dismissed

Your appeal for service connection for a right hip disability secondary to your already service-connected left hip disability has been dismissed because the notice of disagreement was filed more than one year after the denial letter.

The deciding factor: The notice of disagreement was untimely as it was filed more than one year after the April 1, 2019, notice letter denying service connection for the right hip disability.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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