The appeal was dismissed due to the improper docketing in the modernized review system under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA).
The deciding factor: A supplemental claim cannot be filed in connection with a denial of a request to revise a final decision based on clear and unmistakable error (CUE), as CUE must be based upon the facts and law that existed at the time of the prior decision, not new and relevant evidence.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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