Dismissed
The Veteran's appeal was dismissed because the notice of disagreement (NOD) did not properly identify the specific determinations with which he disagreed.
The deciding factor: The NOD failed to meet the legal requirements for an adequate appeal, as it did not specify the issues or decisions being appealed within the required timeframe.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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