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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for dermatitis, variously diagnosed as seborrheic dermatitis, dermatophytosis, and tinea versicolor, prior to June 5, 2023, but denied a higher rating from that date. The issues related to Raynaud's syndrome and special monthly compensation were remanded.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for further development to ensure compliance with previous remand instructions, specifically regarding obtaining a medical opinion from an appropriate specialist and notifying the Veteran about the unavailability of his separation examination.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a more contemporaneous examination to assess the current nature and severity of the Veteran's service-connected seborrheic dermatitis.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), and seborrheic dermatitis, as the evidence did not support a current disability or a link to service. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder was remanded.
