Dismissed
The appeal for entitlement to a TDIU is dismissed as moot because the Veteran has already been awarded a 100 percent rating and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there is no further benefit or earlier effective date that can be established for the period on appeal, thus dismissal of this appeal as moot is warranted.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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