Dismissed
The appeal for entitlement to accrued benefits was dismissed due to the insufficient submission of a valid Notice of Disagreement (NOD) by the Appellant's representative.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 NOD is not valid as it lacks legal authority from the Appellant or her appointed representative, Georgia Department of Veterans Service.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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