Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA dental expenses was dismissed due to lack of evidence showing a claim has been filed.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that a claim for travel-related benefits has been filed, and thus there are no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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