The appeal of the proposed revision of the effective date for the assignment of a 70 percent evaluation for PTSD, on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE), was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA Form 10182 was not valid for purposes of initiating an appeal of the proposed rating decision, as it did not constitute a determination of entitlement or non-entitlement to benefits.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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