The veteran's appeal for waiver of recovery of an overpayment of pension benefits in the amount of $23,630 was dismissed as there is no further matter for the Board to review.
The deciding factor: The decision states that since there was no indication of fraud, misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact, and the veteran's compromise of $3,000 toward the overpayment of $12,900 was accepted by the VA and paid by the veteran, the overpayment has been resolved.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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