Dismissed
The appeal for a rating in excess of 20 percent for type II diabetes was dismissed due to the Veteran's untimely filing of a Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not timely file a VA Form 10182 with respect to the February 2019 rating decision, and good cause has not been shown to accept the late filing.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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