Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's motion to revise or reverse a September 2017 rating decision denying service connection for hemidiaphragm paralysis on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) due to insufficient specificity in the allegations.
The deciding factor: The claimant failed to provide sufficient detail regarding the alleged CUE, failing to identify any specific error or how it would have manifestly changed the outcome.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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