The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) from June 14, 2017, to May 31, 2021, and dismissed it as moot from June 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show the Veteran was unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities prior to June 1, 2021, and he had a combined 100 percent disability evaluation from that date without any single service-connected disability rated at 100 percent.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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