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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

- Denied
The Veteran's claim for service connection for a left wrist disability was denied in April 2017, and he withdrew his appeal. He later submitted a new claim on April 27, 2018, seeking to reopen the previous denial. The Board found that this did not meet the requirements for a timely appeal or submission of new and material evidence.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's current left wrist disability, including chronic sprain, possible disuse atrophy versus ulnar neuropathy, and possible SL tear, is causally related to his in-service injury during active duty. As a result, service connection for this condition is granted.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for left shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathy with degenerative joint disease. The remaining issues of entitlement to service connection for right elbow, wrist, ankle disabilities are remanded.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
