Dismissed
The appeal regarding the proposed reduction in the evaluation of the Veteran's service-connected adenocarcinoma of prostate with urethral stricture from 100 percent disabling to 40 percent disabling was dismissed without prejudice.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 rating decision proposing a reduction is not final, and no Notice of Disagreement has been received for that decision.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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