The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities, as it has been granted in full and the Board lacks jurisdiction to review this matter in the Legacy Appeals System.
The deciding factor: The Veteran opted into the AMA system via RAMP, forfeiting his rights to continued prosecution of his appeal in the Legacy System, but granting him review under new processes. The issue is now moot as it has been fully adjudicated in the AMA system.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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