The Veteran withdrew his appeals for increased ratings of left lower extremity radiculopathy, and the Board has no jurisdiction to proceed with these claims.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's withdrawal of the hearing request and subsequent statement that he is already at 100% disability rating.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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