Dismissed
The veteran withdrew his appeal for a higher disability rating for his service-connected psychiatric disorder, and the appeal is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran explicitly indicated in September 2024 that he wished to withdraw his appeal, thus the Board has no jurisdiction to review the issue.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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