Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the Veteran's request for VR&E services has been granted, and he is currently participating in a VR&E program.
The deciding factor: The issue on appeal became moot as the AOJ had already granted the Veteran's request for independent living services while the appeal was pending.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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