Dismissed
The appeal of entitlement to a waiver of recovery of overpayment of DEA benefits under Chapter 35 was dismissed due to the untimely filing of the notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The notice of disagreement was received more than one year after the mailing date of the decision being appealed, thus failing to meet the legal and regulatory criteria for an appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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