Dismissed
The issue of entitlement to a TDIU is dismissed as moot because the Veteran has already been awarded a 100 percent initial disability rating for prostate cancer and special monthly compensation (SMC) under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s)(1).
The deciding factor: The issue is rendered moot due to the Veteran's receipt of a 100 percent combined evaluation and SMC, which provides a greater benefit than TDIU.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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