Dismissed
The appeal for TDIU, inclusive of effective date, is dismissed as the Veteran has been granted a 100 percent evaluation for his service-connected PTSD from March 26, 2021, making the issue moot.
The deciding factor: The grant of a 100 percent rating for PTSD renders TDIU moot and there are no additional disabilities independently ratable at 60 percent or more to support an award of SMC.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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