Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's appeal for revision of the May 2011 rating decision on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) due to the lack of a properly filed CUE motion with the AOJ.
The deciding factor: The Board lacks legal authority to adjudicate CUE motions in the first instance, as this must be done by the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ).

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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