Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed as a matter of law because the July 5, 2023 Notice of Disagreement did not identify an appealable decision by the Agency of Original Jurisdiction with which the Veteran disagreed.
The deciding factor: The July 5, 2023 NOD failed to identify a specific error of fact or law in the March 15, 2023 notification letter and did not meet the criteria for an AMA appeal.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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