The Veteran withdrew the appeal for service connection for anxiety and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), and these issues are therefore dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's written correspondence indicated her intent to withdraw the appeals, which met the criteria for withdrawal of the appeal under 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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