The appeal of the reduction for PTSD with depression from 100 percent to 70 percent effective September 1, 2021, was dismissed due to an untimely Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's Notice of Disagreement was not timely filed within one year after receiving notification of the rating decision reducing his PTSD with depression from 100 percent to 70 percent effective September 1, 2021.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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