Dismissed
The Veteran withdrew his appeal for service connection for cervical strain (also claimed as neck condition).

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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