The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeal for a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) as moot because he is already receiving a combined 100 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The criteria for a separate award of TDIU predicated on a single disability are not met, and since the Veteran has a combined 100 percent rating, the issue of entitlement to a TDIU is moot.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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