The appeal of the decisions denying apportionment of the Veteran's Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation benefits is dismissed due to failure to follow proper procedures in appealing a claim to the Board.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not submit a timely VA Form 10182 appealing either the July or August 2021 Administrative Decisions, and therefore the appeal was dismissed for failure to comply with the appropriate claims processing rules regarding perfection of a Board appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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