Dismissed
The issue of entitlement to a TDIU from December 21, 2017 to July 20, 2020 is dismissed as the Veteran was in receipt of a total (100 percent) disability rating during that period.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support unemployability due to any single service-connected disability within the appeal period.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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