Dismissed
The Board found that the overpayment of $2,297.00 in VA compensation benefits was due to sole administrative error and not valid.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was unaware of the error and did not contribute to it, as evidenced by his lack of knowledge until 13 years later and efforts to rectify the issue once made aware.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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