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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for various claimed disabilities, including right and left knee replacements, ankle sprains, neck strain, lumbosacral strain, rotator cuff tear, shoulder dislocation, and sleep apnea, as the evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
- Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 20 percent for the veteran's right shoulder dislocation. The decision is based on the evidence available at the time of the original denial.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for gallbladder removal, ingrown toenail, left knee pain, right knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and right shoulder dislocation. The Board found that the AOJ did not adequately consider the Veteran's statements regarding current symptoms, in-service events/causes, and possible continuity of symptoms.
- Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 20 percent for the service-connected right shoulder dislocation, finding that the Veteran's symptoms most closely approximate the current 20 percent rating.
