Dismissed
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed as the Veteran's PTSD was rated at 100 percent, making the TDIU claim moot.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the issue of entitlement to TDIU is moot because the Veteran was already receiving a 100 percent rating for her service-connected PTSD.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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