The appeal regarding the restoration of a 100 percent evaluation for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is dismissed as it has already been completely restored.
The deciding factor: There is no justiciable case or controversy before the Board at this time with respect to this disability, as the issue of whether the reduction was proper is moot due to the restoration in October 2024.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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