The appeal for Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC) prior to June 24, 2020 is dismissed as DIC benefits were reinstated. The overpayment debt of $13,383.73 from June 24, 2020 is found to be a result of sole administrative error and thus not valid.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the termination of DIC benefits prior to June 24, 2020 was due to an incorrect effective date of termination, leading to the reinstatement of DIC. The overpayment debt from June 24, 2020 is found to be a result of sole administrative error.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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