The appeal for VR&E benefits for additional education was dismissed due to the existence of a pending appeal with a more favorable evidence window.
The deciding factor: The Board found that since AMA Appeal 'H 210209-179042' remains pending, AMA appeal 'E 201209-129825' involving the same issue is considered moot and will be dismissed due to no case or controversy.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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