Dismissed
The appeal related to the April 6, 2023 rating decision regarding entitlement to service connection for PTSD was dismissed due to untimeliness of the VA Form 10182.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA Form 10182 was not timely as it was received more than one year after the April 2023 rating decision, and no good cause for extension was shown.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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