Dismissed
The appeal for additional payment under a Veterans Care Agreement (VCA) was dismissed as the Board does not have jurisdiction to review such disputes.
The deciding factor: The dispute process for VCA payments is governed by statutory and contractual authority that creates a dispute process with no review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board).

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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