The Board's decision addressing the Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical expenses, including those incurred on June 6, 2019, and September 3, 2019, is vacated due to a lack of VA determination. The appeal is dismissed as there has been no determination by VA.
The deciding factor: The claim was not decided by VA, so the Board's decision cannot be reviewed further.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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