The appeal concerning verification of the Veteran's social security number and termination of benefits is dismissed as there is no specific determination on appeal that indicates his benefits have been severed.
The deciding factor: There is no question of law or fact before the Board as the Veteran's issue has been resolved by administrative action, and he has failed to identify a specific determination on appeal that indicates his benefits have been severed.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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