The request for an extension of the period for filing a VA Form 10182 as to the issues of entitlement to service connection for high blood pressure, asthma, a low back disability, a bilateral hip disability, a bilateral lower extremity sciatic nerve condition, vertigo and a headache disability is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's request for an extension was denied because a VA Form 10182 had already been filed within the one-year period, and the appeal was already pending final adjudication on appeal to the Board.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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