The appeal for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was dismissed as the Veteran has a combined total of 100 percent disability evaluation, and the evidence does not show that he is unable to obtain or maintain gainful employment due solely to one service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the issue of TDIU is moot because the Veteran has a combined total of 100 percent disability evaluation, and there is no evidence showing he is unable to obtain or maintain gainful employment due solely to his service-connected disabilities.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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