The deciding factor: No reduction in benefits for prostate cancer associated with residuals, postoperative pituitary adenoma was effectuated by VA, and there is no question of law or fact for the Board to decide as to the claimed issue.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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