Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of treatment on February 6, 2020, was dismissed because the claim was determined to be a duplicate and fully paid.
The deciding factor: No determination remains with which the Appellant disagrees due to VA determining that the denied claim was a duplicate and that the original claim was paid in full.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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