The appeal was dismissed as the AOJ administratively reversed and approved payment for non-VA medical services provided to the Veteran on December 5, 2020.

The Board has decided to remand the case for further examination and opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the appellant's skin disability, as well as whether it is related to her period of initial active duty for training.

The Veteran's death was not service-connected, and he did not meet the eligibility requirements for pension benefits.
