Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran not timely filing a notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 NOD was filed more than one year after the June 2019 and December 2019 rating decisions, and good cause for an extension has not been shown.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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