The appeal for an earlier effective date of TDIU was dismissed as the Board already took jurisdiction over this issue in a previous remand and cannot issue a decision on the same issue simultaneously.
The deciding factor: The appeal is rendered moot because the Board's action to raise TDIU and remand the matter for further development in October 2024 means that the current stream is duplicative, and the Board no longer has appellate purview over this claim.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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