The Board has dismissed the Veteran's appeal for entitlement to service connection for a right ear hearing loss disability due to failure to comply with the appropriate claims processing defect.,The evidence of record does not support finding that the Veteran had a left knee or right knee disability at any time during her military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no current diagnosis for the claimed disabilities and that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for service connection due to lack of in-service incurrence or aggravation.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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