Dismissed
The appeal regarding the issue of entitlement to an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits was dismissed due to the untimely submission of the Appellant's VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The May 13, 2021 VA Form 10182 was not timely as it was received more than 60 days after the issuance of the March 2021 apportionment decision.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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