Dismissed
The Board dismissed the appeals of whether entitlement to a TDIU and SMC for A&A/housebound were reasonably raised by the record prior to the September 2022 rating decision, as there remains no justiciable case or controversy with respect to these issues.
The deciding factor: There was no remaining justiciable case or controversy with respect to the issues of entitlement to a TDIU and SMC for A&A/housebound, as the AOJ had addressed and adjudicated them.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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