Dismissed
The appeal for payment of non-VA medical expenses incurred by the Veteran from September 17, 2020, to September 21, 2020, under the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP) was dismissed as the Board does not have jurisdiction to review such claims.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the lack of jurisdiction for the Board to review decisions regarding non-VA medical expenses under the VCCP.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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