The appeal for service connection and compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for stroke (to include residual(s) of stroke) is dismissed as the Veteran's claim for service connection has already been granted.
The deciding factor: There are no remaining allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration, and the Veteran is already receiving compensation for this service-connected disability under 38 U.S.C. § 1155, making a separate award under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 moot.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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