Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the June 2022 VA Form 10182 did not identify an appealable decision, as the September 2021 letter advising on TDIU processing was informational and not a final decision.
The deciding factor: The September 2021 letter did not meet the legal criteria for an appealable decision with respect to the issue of a TDIU, making the June 2022 VA Form 10182 invalid.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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