The appeal for revision or reversal of the February 2019 rating decision, which assigned an effective date of March 20, 2017, for the award of service connection for partial complex seizures, based on CUE is dismissed without prejudice to refiling.
The deciding factor: The issue of whether the February 2019 is the product of CUE is not yet ripe for review because an SOC has not yet been issued as to the appeal of the timeliness of the Veteran's March 2017 NOD.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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