Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to a docketing error, as the second Notice of Disagreement submitted by the Veteran on September 16, 2022, was deemed duplicate and invalid.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the second Notice of Disagreement was entirely duplicative of the first one received in September 9, 2022, leading to an erroneous docket assignment.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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