The Board dismissed the claims for service connection for a right hip disorder and left hip disorder due to an untimely Notice of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The appeal was not timely filed as it did not identify the specific decision and issues that were appealed within one year from the date of the rating decision, and no good cause was established for 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
