Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed because the appellant's May 2023 VA Form 10182 failed to specifically identify a rating decision with which she disagreed.
The deciding factor: The notice of disagreement did not meet the requirements for a valid notice of disagreement for any appealable issue.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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