The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date prior to March 15, 2019, for TDIU and DEA, and dismissed his CUE motions regarding these benefits.
The deciding factor: The claims were denied due to the lack of evidence establishing clear and unmistakable error in the January 2016 rating decision, and the effective date was based on the date of claim submission.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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