The appeal for entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed because the issue has been rendered moot by an April 2025 rating decision that granted TDIU, effective as of August 2015.
The deciding factor: There no longer remains a case or controversy with respect to the claim for entitlement to a TDIU since it was granted and assigned an effective date prior to the date of the claim which gave rise to this 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
