Dismissed
The appeal for restoration of entitlement to VA education benefits used for attendance at Heald College from April 23, 2013 to July 6, 2014 is dismissed due to a procedural defect in the timely filing of the notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the notice of disagreement was not filed within one year of the decision date and no good cause for an extension was provided.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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