Dismissed
The appeal for special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance/housebound status was dismissed due to untimely filing. The claims for specially adapted housing and a special home adaptation grant were denied as there is no service-connected disability that meets the criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's VA Form 10182 was not timely filed, and the evidence does not support the claim for specially adapted housing or a special home adaptation grant.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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