Dismissed
The appeal of service connection for elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is dismissed because the April 2022 document does not meet the legal criteria to qualify as a decision.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 document was not issued as a decision to the Veteran or one with which he was provided notice, and therefore cannot be appealed.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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