Dismissed

The appeal for a total disability rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) has been dismissed as moot, given the Veteran's receipt of a combined schedular 100 percent disability rating since August 7, 2019.

The deciding factor: The issue is rendered moot by the grant of a combined schedular 100 percent disability rating from August 7, 2019, as there remain no questions of law or fact to be decided regarding entitlement to TDIU.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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