The appeal regarding the issue of entitlement to revision of a June 2020 rating decision that assigned a temporary total evaluation effective June 15, 2020, based on convalescence following left knee surgery is dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The August 2021 rating decision rendered moot the Veteran's disagreement with the January 2021 rating decision on appeal because all the benefits sought by the claimant have been granted.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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