The appeal concerning the timely filing of a request for payment of expenses for non-VA medical services provided on October 6, 2019, is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The administrative action overturned the prior denial due to untimeliness of receipt of the request for payment, but no actual payment could be issued as the Veteran's private health insurance covered his claim.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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