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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's heart, menstrual, anemia, thyroid, and gallbladder conditions are considered undiagnosed illnesses due to her service in the Persian Gulf War. The Board has granted service connection for these conditions on a presumptive basis.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions due to a failure to schedule VA examinations. The Veteran was scheduled but did not attend, and good cause is found for this failure.
- Denied
The Board has denied compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for abnormal heart condition, anxiety disorder, chest pain, fatigue, and nonspecific infection as there is no evidence showing that the Veteran's claimed disabilities are the result of VA medical or educational services.
