Dismissed
The claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed as moot because the Veteran has been granted a 100 percent schedular rating for his depressive disorder and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The issue of entitlement to TDIU is considered moot due to the grant of a 100 percent schedular rating and special monthly compensation for the entire appeal period.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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