Dismissed
The appeal regarding the timeliness of the June 11, 2021, VA Form 9 from the August 2021 VA Form 10182 was dismissed as it was deemed duplicative of an earlier appeal.
The deciding factor: The appeals were identical and addressed the same disagreement, violating the rule that a claimant may not file more than one notice of disagreement for an element of a claim.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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