The issue of entitlement to payment or reimbursement for non-VA dental care associated with an episode of care on February 5, 2020, and February 27, 2020, is dismissed as the claims were administratively reversed and approved.
The deciding factor: The Appellant's claims were initially denied due to untimeliness but were later administratively reviewed and reprocessed, leading to approval of the episode of care for payment.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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