The deciding factor: VA did not adequately fulfill its duty to notify the Veteran of his appeal rights regarding the rejection of the notice of disagreement, making the 1997 rating decision not subject to revision on the basis of CUE.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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