The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeals for entitlement to an effective date prior to February 4, 2013, for the grant of service connection for bilateral calluses, as well as his claims for special home adaptation grant and specially adapted housing. The dismissals were due to the Veteran not filing a timely VA Form 9 or VA Form 10182 after receiving the February 2020 Statement of the Case.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not file a timely appeal within 60 days of receiving the February 2020 Statement of the Case, as required by VA regulations.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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