The appeal concerning the payment for dental services provided on September 3, 2020 and September 10, 2020 was dismissed due to the specific administrative dispute resolution process that does not allow for appellate review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the exclusive administrative dispute resolution authority granted to VHA under section 1703A of the statute and its implementing regulation, which precludes the Board from reviewing or resolving such disputes.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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