Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals for earlier effective dates related to a 70 percent rating for PTSD, TDIU, and DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: There is no case or controversy as the Veteran has been in receipt of the benefits he sought since September 28, 2011, March 7, 2022, and November 10, 2018 respectively.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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