The Veteran withdrew the appeal for entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) before the Board promulgated a decision.
The deciding factor: The withdrawal was properly submitted and met the requirements of 38 C.F.R. § 20.205, thus there are no allegations of errors for appellate consideration.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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