The appeal for payment of non-VA care provided to the Veteran by HHHC from May 18, 2019, to May 31, 2019, is dismissed as VHA corrected the underpayment and has paid the claims.
The deciding factor: The issue was moot due to administrative correction of the daily rate payment for the non-VA care provided by HHHC for the dates on appeal, which resulted in full payment according to VA authority.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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