The Board dismissed the claim for entitlement to a temporary total evaluation for right shoulder arthroscopy due to untimely submission of a Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The May 2022 Notice of Disagreement was not timely filed as it was submitted more than one year after the July 2019 rating decision, and no good cause for extending the filing period was shown.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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