Dismissed
The appeal for apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits withheld during his incarceration is dismissed as moot, since an apportionment was granted in January 2023.
The deciding factor: The issue on appeal is moot because the AOJ granted the apportionment the appellant sought while this appeal was pending.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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